Title: Removing convertible well trim?
Post by: Cuda416 on September 07, 2020, 09:50:45 AM
Not sure if it's ever been off in the past, but the well trim on my car seems to be stuck with something that reminds of me of that stucky stuff used for sticking things to walls etc. I think it's called blu-tak. I'll hit it with a heat gun but as the title reads, what is the best method of removal for this trim? Obviously I don't care to damage it and my usual monkey fist approach aint gonna cut it.

The side pieces are screwed on from the bottom, about six screws on each. The rear piece just clips on. Yes there's a lot of gummy crap along there as well. The trim should just pull off with a forward motion. :alan2cents:

Awesome, thanks for the info  :bigthumb:. I felt what I thought might be screws, but haven't gotten things cleared out enough to see them for sure. This helps a lot.

They're roughly in these positions.
