Default Drip (roof) moulding removal.

Does anybody know how to remove it? I think one of the plastic clips broke on the very front, at the left bottom corner of the windshiled. Do I start in the rear and work over the roof forward or do I need to remove the plastic windshiled wiper mechanism cover and pry off just the front part?

Thanks.

Can you take a photo of what you want to remove? I'm having trouble imagining what drip moulding is.

That's the long molding that starts at the bottom of the windshield, goes up the A-pillar, onto the roof and down to the bottom of the rear window.

This will give you an idea. Sorry for the blur, but cannot get the thick manual flat onto the scanner.

There you go. If that is YOUR damage (I recall that another member's car was that same exact image), then you'll need to replace it.... it's a pretty penny unfortunately.
