On my 72 the rear corners are held on with nuts. The 2 small front pcs. are held on with barrel nuts. On some cars these 2 pcs. may be held on with nuts also. You may be able to gain access to them thru the door jamb vent if they are. All the long pcs. in between are held on with plastic clips attached to weld studs.

The pieces at the bottom are help on by plastic clips that seem to hold it by pressure more than anything else I could find. I carefully pryed them up with a screw driver. The pieces on the top are just pressure fit on with the material causing pressure between the strip and the rail. I have pictures I can send you in e-mail if you'd like.

Hey deejay are you a member of Tri-State Chevelles? Isn't Hamilton near Cinci ?
