What it eventually will look like . . . .  Group: Members Posts: 355 Joined: 29-March 07 From: Maple Grove, MN Member No.: 7,632 Region Association: Northstar Region  |
I am attempting to remove the chrome trim on the targa bar and sail panels as well as around the windshield on my '73 without damaging it. The sail panel trim has one small screw in the top of it. I've removed that but the trim doesn't seem to want to give at all. What is the secret for removing all of this stuff without bending it or damaging it? Thanks.

I just removed mine, I really don't know if it's the best way, but i removed the screw at the to pf the sail trim, turned the trim counterclockwise about half way turn, then push from the bottom flat wide end. It has a glob of some kind of seal material on the flat shaped fastener holding the sail trim. You just have to be careful when pushing on the trim(be patient) not to bind the trim piece, I had to wiggle it back and fourth several times. Put tape down around the area to prevent scratching the paint. I'm sure there is another way, but worked for me on both my cars.
