: drip rail and rear window removal Broken'69 Jun 23rd, 00, 8:38 AM I am working on a 69 chevelle 2 dr..I was wondering what is the easiest way to remove the 3 piece drip rails that are on the top of the car over the windows...also, how do I go about removing the rear window so I can do bodywork around the glass...I will definately need new seals on the rear window...any recomendations on this, ie. materierials to use??? Any help is always appreciated.... 65elcamino Jun 23rd, 00, 9:53 AM Use an old style can opener to remove the drip rail trim. Use the rounded end and put some electrical tape on it to protect the drip rail from scratches. Use it to slowly pry the top edge off, work slowly and move along the edge until it will poo over the top. Do not try to completely pry off each spot. The rear glass will have to be someones else advice. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/wink.gif [This message has been edited by 65elcamino (edited 06-23-2000).] Broken'69 Jun 23rd, 00, 11:04 AM well, I should have added this in earlier, but what about re-installing the drip rails? Do you have any advice on that? mr409 Jun 23rd, 00, 6:19 PM Just press em back on. You could also lightly tap with a rubber mallet for those tough spots. To remove the rear window, there are tools to help do this. One is a handle with a metal hook on it that cuts the seal. The other is 2 handles with a wire that cuts the seal. You could make the second type if money is tight. ------------------ Bob (Pa.) 1963 Impala 283 1966 Chevelle SS 409 1969 Malibu 307 1972 Malibu 307 1969 Chevy stepside 350 Check out my website: Bobs 409 Chevy Page (http://members.spree.com/entertainment/mr409/bob_s_409_chevy_page_index.html) Looking for Chevelle or Impala parts?

Start from the rear and go forward then do the front edge than the clip. Also use strip calk underneath and do it by hand no hammers needed. You can get glass cutting tools from about any body shop supply house. ------------------ Micky Hale Restorations 69 L-89 Chevelle 68 Biscayne 427/425 34 Plymouth Coupe racecar ACES #134 | ||
