Back Window Trim Question..

[crashcaptn]

Hey all,

Well, car cover decided to rip a piece of trim my rear window trim.. I can't see exactly how this goes on or off and i don't want to just start taring things apart without asking. Anyone removed one of these yet? Or better yet, have a non screwed version of one for a 63-66 dart?

I think I see a trim clip at the yellow arrow. What puzzles me... The typical clip pattern has a clip within 3 inches of any join. I haven't seem them all but thinking there should be clips at orange arrows. Plus one trim always overlaps another. Bottom piece should have been tucked underneath the side piece 1/2 inch or more. Maybe pull it off ( its screwed anyway ) and see how much length was used in other end overlap.

AH good info - from what i saw there were NO clips.. i'm thinking the window guy glued this in place.. and as you see there isnt much trim left to tuck under the corner bracket on the passenger side..

I havent touched this part ever.. does it just slide out?

So maybe what I see in your pic ( my yellow arrow ) isn't a molding clip. Any stainless reveal molding would have had clips.
There is a special tool for these clips. Nothing less will remove pieces with curves and angles, like your side pieces. Now that one end of this fairly straight piece is hanging out, You might drag it lengthwise out of a few clips if they any there.

I have that piece but I can't sell because I have the car for sale. I actually have one car ready for paint and another car is a parts car that goes with it when it sells. Sorry
