How do these parts come off???

Gag_Halfront said
Next on the list of parts that I can't seem to remove is the trim _under_ the quarter windows. The drip rail trim was no problem, but the trim under the rear windows has some kind of little clips under it that I don't know how to remove without destroying the trim.

The third part... The one that is the most frustrating, is the flip-cap gas door. :angry7: The screws are some kind of funky specialty screw that I've never seen before. Is there a special tool for this? If so, does somebody know what it's called and where to get one? I'm tempted to just drill the stupid things out, but I'd like to do it right if possible.

Thanks very much in advance for any help anybody can give. I'm an admitted novice at this type of work and this board has been so incredibly helpful!

Mine is a 67. so I don't have the clips on the windsheild gasket. But I will probably put a 68 gaskets on (I already have the chrome trim), so I guess I will have to figure it out later.

I just took off that wonderful rear quarter trim this weekend. on the bottom are three spring clips, just pried off. The back portion are two clips held on by screws. The screws must come out to get the trim off. You have to access the screw from the interior side. I tried to get to them without removing the inside trim panels without luck. I bent a phillips to 90 degrees with some heat and a vise, but still couldn't really get to them. I ended up taking out the interior trim. I am going to paint the interior anyway. Might as well paint it out of the car. If you do decide to take out the interior panels, the chrome strip at the top of the sail panel is held on by spring clips, so it will just pry off. this will reveal a bunch of screws. The rest was pretty easy.

For the flip gas cap, I bought the special tool for those tamper proof screws on ebay for $10-15.
