There are different sub-forums that would be appropriate for a question like this one, Grant. Although an admin will probably move it for you.

You want to pry it off from the underside rather than the roof side, preferably with something that's reasonably sharp on the end - but not super sharp on the sides - and reasonably wide to spread the load. You can do it with a screwdriver, but wider (eg. a well shaped pry bar with slightly rounded corners) would be better!

I have read somewhere that a wide brick bolster works well and spreads the load like Heath said, Do from under side. I have not tried it though.

As Replicar said a bolster is perfect. Its the only tool I use and have removed moulds from a variety of cars over the years
