Default Anyone know how to.....

take theupper windshield header stainless moulding off? (the thin silver piece between the windshield and larger thick moulding) I would like to polish it, and think I could do a better job with it off. :smash: Thanks

There are minor bumps on the bottom of the moulding that click into the clips that are attached to the frame. The clips are U-shaped with the U being very tight. I used a regular windshield clip tool to slightly spread the U and ease the moulding out. This can be very tedious so take your time and don't bend the moulding. Good Luck, Craig :cheers:

On my 68 there's some clips under the upper windshield reveal molding. The clips hold the windshield molding. Carefully pop the molding out of the clips
