Default Reference: C5 Glue Locations

Hi Everyone,

I'm in the process of parting out a C5 parts car.
I'm trying to get all the panels off of it. I looked far and wide for where the adhesive is located on the aperture / rocker panels, tub and halo trim / top roof bow trim, to try to help in getting the panels off and I have not come up with much.
There will be damage to the panels as I don't really know what I'm doing, just trying to figure it out and document it for others that want to disassemble these parts in the future.

I'll be documenting my adventures in a google photos gallery here:
I know there have been issues with photobucket and direct hosting photos over the year, so I will just have everything live in the google photos link for everyone to check out.

Right now I'm on the halo trim / top roof bow trim and will hopefully be on the tub next week. You'll see a bunch of pictures of the aperture panels as well. Sorry for the messy garage.

Let me know if you have requests for photos or anything else. I'll continue to update this post as I go along.

bad news: Well all the photos got deleted somehow
good news: but I've reuploaded them and will be creating a new album
also good news: I extracted the tub by myself with very little damage!

I'll be updating and editing this post here shortly.

Well that link says the album is empty.. I was told in another thread in the body section that the rocker panels are the only parts glued on. They need to be heated with a heat gun and pry ed off

The tub is also glued on along with the windshield frame allegedly.

I'd recommend using an inductor vs a heat gun to heat.

Tub glue locations added. I will add more pictures as I remove the panels on my running car and re-tub and re-panel it.
