Guest Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Does anyone know how to remove the chrome hood molding? I tried to pry it off but I don't want to ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Monteguy, The molding along the back edge of the hood is a friction fit. I have had mine off. Just take your time so you don't damage it. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowly work across the hood. You can install it the same way. ------------------ Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC-71 Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Homedepot paint stick used for mixing paint works great. Just cut a pc about 2" long and tap it with a hammer. Works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Thanks for the help guys! I'll give it a try. Since I'm on sort of the same subject, I'll throw this one out. How do I remove the molding that runs above the door window? If the car had a vinyl top, this piece would be right next to the vinyl top molding.

Working your way in from underneath (bottom) with the putty knife, you can tap, push in under it a section at a time and using the screwdriver only to keep it from slipping back on. Don't try to get any section too far off the rail and bend the moulding. Start with the corner piece first. Easy to do. ------------------ George Lines [This message has been edited by George Lines (edited 08-15-2002).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 I started to use a screwdriver but the molding was bending too much. I put the corner back on and haven't bothered with it since. I'll give it another try someday. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
