I have some drip rail molding on my 65 chevelle parts car i would like to take off. Unfortunately When i tried, It seemed like I was bending it. I must have been taking it off wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the safe removal of this stuff? Or should I just go and buy a new set?

Thanks,
Tim

There isn't really a safe way to remove them.
The only way that I know is to start at the bottom and pry carefully. Once you get the bottom off, they should come off, but they do bend real easy.
If you can't get them off, get new ones, it might be worth it in the long run.

I have had good success using a coke bottle opener on the top of the molding. Good luck and take your time.
