Rear window trim removal? 200

So I'm getting close to having my '79 242gt restored. It drove up and down the driveway yesterday for the first time in 5 years! Suspension and all undercarriage bits have been rebuilt/rust ground down/painted. I've done the necessary bodywork. Now I'm to the point of final prep sanding so I can take it in to get painted.

I removed the front windshield trim that was being held on by a bunch of windshield glue. It doesn't really matter--I'm getting a new 91+ windshield after it gets painted. Now I want to remove the rear window trim, but I want to be sure it can go on again. Is it held on with the same clips that are supposed to hold the front trim? Is it easy-ish to reinstall? Before I start prying, I thought I'd ask.

Looked through my Bentley and Haynes manuals and couldn't find anything.

Thanks for the thoughts and advice!

Nate
