chrome window trim

 

     does anyone kow were to obtain the chrom window trim for the edges of the back glass on a 1982 vet it seems I only have about half of it ?

I do not remember seeing on ebay lately. Can search there for chrome trim.

along the same line, How does it come off? I need to remove mine on 78 to have body painted.

Thanks,

Bick

 

                Not to sure I was just going to mask mine off real good

Try Dynamic Corvettes <www.dynamiccorvettes.com>. I used them before for hard to find parts and they've always had what I was looking for.

It actually takes a special tool to get under that trim and remove without damaging the clips. Once done correctly the trim piece will snap right back on easily. Once youv'e seen it done, it's really very simple. It's good to get those off before painting and get all the crud out for a nice paint job. It makes a big difference.If you know anyone who paints cars they might show you the trick or there may be a "how to" book out there somewhere....Seems to me I've seen those trim pieces in one of the dozen or so vette parts catologs. Sorry I can't nail it down right now. Good Luck My Friend. aceinthehole4938938.3501041667

I bent a small screw driver about an inch back from end to a 30 degree angle and two of us removed it . Didn't break any of the clips however previous person had. the rear window had a code which said M  81. Does this indicate an 81 glass was installed on a 78 or does the 81 mean anythig?

It deffinitely needs removing to paint! lots of crud been deposited there over the years.
