Removing pleated shades from Ford Mark III conversion

[bpeck]

Hey guys, I'm in the middle of replacing the old/worn out/broken shades in my van with some better ones I got from the junkyard, and I've ran into a bit of a snag. &nbsp;I was hoping someone here perhaps has already gone through this and could lend some advice.<br /><br />My van is a 1994 Ford E150 with the high top conversion package from Mark III. &nbsp;I'm trying to remove the shades and interior plastic window trim piece from the two rear-most side windows. &nbsp;All screws came out with no issue, and the whole piece WANTS to come free, but the top of the plastic trim piece seems to be attached to the high top headliner piece above it. &nbsp;This piece has some fabric and wood on it, basically it houses the A/C vent and a light above the window. &nbsp;The shades I got from the junkyard came from a non-high top van so they came out easily and didn't have this headliner piece above them.<br /><br />I can't seem to figure out how the plastic window trim piece is attached to the headliner. &nbsp;Has anyone seen this before? &nbsp;Do I need photos to show what I'm talking about?

I think I got it figured out guys... Found a couple screws hiding that magically loosened the high top/headliner trim piece. &nbsp;I appreciate the help!

Glad you got it sorted out. David Hair never responded. He was at the end of the world gathering in Tennessee. Maybe the Mayans got him after all.
