I have a tool for removing the trim around the windshield and rear glass but have no clue how to use it or how the trim should come off. Its on a 66. Any help is appreciated.

Stick one hook of the tool between glass and chrome and you need to hook one of the clips. When you get a clip hooked, pull the handle so it is at a 90 degree angle to the chrome,and pull slightly up on the handle. The hook will push against the body and release the clip, and pushing up on the handle helps keep the chrome from re-clipping, now release the clip and do another. Take your time, sliding a paint stick under the moulding will help you to see the clips, take your time so as not to bend the mouldings. Good Luck

Also, I put masking tape on the glass where the tool will lay so it won't scratch the glass. The method described by the above poster is bang on.
