Hi all, I have a 142 that I am restoring and need to get the side trim off without damaging it, can anybody tell me an easy way of doing this?

The side trim strips are clamped around small white plastic pieces. These are clamped in holes in the body.
You can squeeze the trim off with a knife. Stick it between the body and the trim, next to one of the plastic pieces. Then rotate the knife so you lift both lower and upper side of the trim together.

Good luck.
