there is a body tool used for removing the moldings, however it is good practice just to replace the clips since you have the molding out.

i don't know the exact price of the clips, but there are a bunch of them up there. you might as well just order a complete set for the roof and replace them since you have the molding out already. they are not expensive.

there are two clips on each and pulling each end out will get them off the clip

Thanks again you guys! I was told to remove the roof molding instead of taping it up before I shoot my car. Thanks again!
