Once weatherstrip has been removed, driver side and passenger side powder coated aluminum mouldings have to be removed. These are two pieces (each side) sheet metal screwed with double sided tape in between. I don't trust anyone to remove these pieces without destroying them. I use a long retractable razor (box cutter) to separate top moulding ("L" section visiable from the outside ) from the bottom piece. Once removed, another set of screws attaching the inner piece to the "A" pillar is exposed. Removal of these screws allows removal of the inner piece. Once side mouldings are removed, you can un-screw and remove the top piece.
These are delicate procedure and recommend that you take your time and remove unless the window installer has experience working on C4 window.
These aluminum trim/mouldings were very expensive even when C4 Corvettes were in production. I am not sure if they are still available.

Yun,

Thanks for the details. I'm printing this info and taking it to the installer that I'm using. Better if they know up front and I'll be there to ensure. Yeah, the original, good OEM weatherstrip is like finding a Unicorn. I paid through my nose, but lucked out with some help to find one.
