Cabriolet stainless steel window frames question.
 

I have a slightly damaged (worn thru the stainless in an area due to rubbing on steel frame when being wound up) plus other imperfections. I have another to replace this with for my 34 cabriolet but this one has the corner cover piece missing and the damaged one has this piece.
Has anyone removed this piece before without damaging it.
It appears to be just clipped over but my worry is could it be soldered as well.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks
Graham

There is an ad in the for sale section selling reproductions of the corner piece.

Thanks Kurt that was the answer I was hoping for before attempting and causing damage.
I was worried that they may have been soldered on or similar.

Well tackled the repair finally today.
I was able to get the glass out ok without breaking it and replaced it in the new frame.
The corner tab I was concerned about came off real easy and went back onto the new one just as easy.
I now have available my old frame if someone is looking for one for a driver.
Thanks guys.
