Hello, I need to replace both damaged windshield reveal moldings to my car as their especially lower part lets water from rain inside but I am afraid not to damage the glass of the windshield when attempting to remove the moldings clips. Can you please tell me how to safely do it? Thank you very much.

 

The water leak is probably coming from the air intake box underneath the long plastic cowl.

Yes, I assume as well that the water ingress at your X400 happens where your cabin air-filter is - the second link in rx-7's post shows pictures of the opening in the firewall behind the cabin air filter. So, that water ingress is unrelated to the shabby looking windshield mouldings. Those moulding do not have any sealing function. They are just optical add-ons - and due to poor design, there are now very shabby looking add-ons. If you want to do something about that - I wrote a post about that:
