Wondering if anyone knows of a good resource to explain how to remove frt and rear window trim on a '62 Catalina without screwing it up. Any help gladly accepted.
memory serves me correct, you get a window moulding removal tool(princess auto) or if you know a glass shop or bodyman will have it. Slide it under the chrome trim moulding. I think all GMs are alike. Then slide it across under the chrome and try to twist tool in upwards motion lifting the chrome trim, At tat point you maybe able to pop it off. I got the tool once, went to the wreckers, found and old car and practiced. It worked. Id also run painters tape along windshield.....just a thought. Harder to explain than doing.
These are some of the common ones for old cars ... there are MANY more.

Great, gives me an idea what to look for. I have the interior trim tool tools from mechanics but not the stuff for the exterior chrome. As you all to well know it's extremely hard to find nice peices and mine are all in great shape, so I don't want to damage them taking them off the car for paint prep.
his 2nd pic is for GM window crank handles to remove the c clip. The 3rd pic is to slide under door panels to remove plastic plugs found in doors etc. Its close if not the 1st pic.....the tool ya need or very close to ,thanks PontiaCanada
