Chrome Trim Removal


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

How are the lower chrome trim pieces removed? I am referring to those pieces that cover the rocker panels. Is a special tool required or some special thechnique? While we're at it, how about the chrome strip below the trunk on a '72 model?

Thanks,

Ray

The chrome is held on with one screw and clips that hook to the chrome and push into holes in the rocker panels. I take the screw out and slide a small screw driver under the chrome until I find the first clip. Pry the clip, not the chrome, out enough to get a door panel clip removal tool or a needle nose pliers behind the clip and work it out. Work your way along to the front fender. Rest the loose part of the strip on something as it will hang down and put pressure on the remaining clips.
