Need installation help
This should be simple, but not for me. Just purchased a "radiator support to hood" seal kit from Ecklers. Part number 25750. It's going on a '77 Vette with Air. There's 3 pieces in the kit. One straight and 2 curved. The straight one has adhesive backing and the other two do not. They look like weatherstripping. My car only has the two original end pieces on it now. The curved ones. I thought they were just glued on until I tried prying one off. It appears there's some kind of rivet holding it on. This is on the metal shield that goes across the top of the a/c condensor. Can anyone walk me through installing these three simple pieces of weatherstripping?? How do I get these rivets out without breaking them?? A picture of these seals correctly installed on a 77 with air would be great. Thanks,
KC

The curved ones use "press in fasteners" to secure them into place. The Ecklers catalog should have also listed "needed parts" for the seals. You can try pulling them straight out with some pliers but chances are they are rusted and may break.
