Default How to take covertible top moulding off?

I am trying to remove the moulding that runs around the top of the body work from one quarter to the other quarter and across the top of the trunk. I'm waiting on a shop manual so I don't have directions. I've tried to get it of but it's not coming easily and I don't want to damage it. Can anyone tell me how to releasee it or have a copy of this proceedure from a shop manual they can post or email, or sugest any other source of info?

Thanks

YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE PACKAGE TRAY BEHIND THE SEATS AND MOST OF THE TRIM PANELS. THEN PULL OFF THE NUTS HOLDING THE BACK OF THE SOFT TOP ON. THEN YOU CAN REMOVE THE TEN NUTS HOLDING THE MOULDING.THERES NO EASIER WAY TO DO IT. I'VE DONE IT TOO MANY TIMES ALREADY.
