Friends,
As I research on how to remove Eleanor's front and rear windows to replace the weatherstripping, I want to make sure I preserve...not bend, the corner metal mouldings.
Referring to Numbers 5, 6, 10, and 11 - the little metal bits that live in the corners of either window glass.
I saw one for sale on eBay and luckily, the seller showed a photo of the backside, which appears to have inward bends...maybe 1-2mm in depth on all edges (except for the two that run parallel with the chrome moulding). It would seem that if I work a flat plastic stick underneath one of the flat edges, I might be able to gently pry it upwards? Also, I suspect that, to install, I would simply work the piece on from one side to the other, flexing the weatherstripping underneath so the inward bends will catch on a groove in the weatherstripping.
How does my reasoning sound? Has anyone done this job before and have any lessons learned to share?
Thank you all!
Mike

You can gently pry it out or pull the plastic trim near it first, install is the reverse.
