Celica Convertible Questions Regarding Front Windshield...

Thanks.

I'm having a difficult time trying to remove the Rear View Mirror Assembly. I'm trying to replace the front windshield weatherstripping, so I need to do this. I have pictures below.

Q1. How do you remove the Rear View Mirror and Lamp Assembly? Screws? Clips?

Q2. I see a screw inside towards the middle, but it's difficult (almost impossible) to get a good angle and unscrew it (see Pic02 and Pic03). Doe I need to get that screw?

Q4. I printed some scanned instructions found on this website. Thanks to whoever did this. However, on some pictures I have difficulty seeing the detail. Have these instructions been re-scanned and uploaded? )

Q5. This is a question regarding something else, but hopefully more simple. I painted the Windshield Outer Moldings and the Rear Convertible Trim Moldings which curve around where the convertible top folds down. Novice question, but do these parts need a clear coat? I ask, because I was hoping these parts to be flat black, or the least amount of gloss possible.

Thanks again.

Solved.

There were seven clips around the Rear View Mirror and Lamp Assembly plastic molding panel. Three in front, four in back.

Thanks.
