66 442 Quarter window trim
Does any one have suggestions on how to remove the old leading edge chrome
trim/rubber seal on the quarter window on a 66 442 convert? I've seen the replacement parts advertised, but I don't see how to remove/replace without breaking the glass.

If you only want to replace the rubber seal it can be done without removing the chrome. The rubber has a metal strip inside and it slides and is probably glued from the bottom up. I had to use pliers to twist the old rubber enough to get it out, then the new one slides in easily. Use some 3M trim adhesive. I bought my rubber from Metro Rubber and its mostly nice stuff, however i wasnt impressed with the quarter window trim, it pretty wimpy. Ordered new again from OPGI, its made by Softseal and it seems much more like original. I think you can order direct from Softseal and maybe get it a little cheaper, not sure, but if you order it, once its in your hands you can see better how it goes in. I did have my windows out of the car, but once installed i could see the rubber can be installed with the windows in the car, if you remove the jamb seal.
