I was wondering if there is a way to remove the stainless steel trim around the windshield without breaking the clips. There are some rust spots that need fixing, but I don't want to destroy the trim trying to get to it.

 

Chances are you will break a couple of them , remember old and brittle.

I think the dealer still sells those clips .

good luck Man !!

 

Proper tools help too. There are specific tools for windshield and trim removal.

 

Good luck... I broke most of them when I removed them to paint them black... stupid friggen clips!!!

 

I will hold off then. I need to get some Ospho or POR 15 first. In one spot, on the drivers side A pillar, it rusted through, and made a pin hole



For being a CA truck, it sure has a lot of surface rust (compared to the other one I have, which is the same year and spent its entire life outside as well).

 

brick?


hammer?





do tell what these special tools are...

 

The clips turn up on Ebay. You can get them by the bagfull cheap.

 

how did that boomerang pic slip by the mods....lol?
