I can confirm it!! The chrome strip/trim with the snaps can be removed, totally un-affecting your top.

Mine looks like it's chrome trim ~ 1-1.5" wide w/ a bunch of snaps for the boot. Can anyone else confirm this trim does or doesn't hold the top down on a 65 Coronet? -- Bill M 65 Coronet 500 'vert http://1962to1965mopar.ornocar.com/mmo62008.html http://www.marylandmopars net/membersrides/Bill-MelissaCoronet/Bill-MelissaCoronet.htm 73 Dart Sport, 00 Cherokee Sport, 01 Dakota SLT 21 Model T Depot Hack, 92 Accord, 06 Mazda 3 On Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 10:12 AM, Rick Gilmore <rickgilmore66@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > If you are talking about the pot metal piece that runs along the top of the rear quarter by the back window, I believe the correct term is belt molding, and if that is what you are talking about, it does not hold the top on, at least if doesn't on my 63 Fury Vert.
