Re: [FWDLK] removing trim



Deane,
        I removed the same type trim off of my 59 Belvedere.  Extremely thin
and fragile!!!  I used a very, very small screw driver, lifting from the
under side slowly and carefully as it is snap fitted over the rain
gutter, working from front to rear.  After learning how to remove this
piece without damaging it, I promptly caught a shirt sleeve on the tip
and bent it over, leaving a kink and my temper flaring.  I did not find
any adhesive.  The key words are sloooowww, carefully, and do not wear a
long sleeve shirt.  If anyone has a NOS set, or a set in like new shape
for a 59 Belvedere 2 dr hdtp, shoot me an email.  John in WI
