Thanks Darwin. Sanding down the paint made all the difference. Don

I have some questions regarding the trim around the side windows on my '66 riv. 1) For the piece that runs from the lower corner of the back window up and across to the top front of the front window (Roof drip molding scalp in Fisher manual)the manual says it is retained by "spring (self-retained)". a) Does that mean it is just supposed to snap in place over the rail above the windows and that is it? If so, does it matter if I put the inside edge in place first and then snap the outside edge over the rail or the other way around? Either way I see some of my nice new paint getting scraped/chipped off - granted it shouldn't show. b)Do I snap on one end first and work my way around or try and click the whole thing on pretty much at once? 2)does the rear quarter reveal molding have to be off to put on the above piece? 3)Is there a trick to gaining access to install the screws on the rear quarter reveal molding without dropping the window? Seems like the window is in the way even when rolled down. Thanks, Don ROA #9412

Hi all, I was wondering about pinstriping on a 66 Riv. I once owned a (very used) 66 Riv GS that had decal type pinstriping running the length of the car at the TOP of the doors (just below the chrome at the top of the door) and fenders (where the side vertical surface did a right angle to the top horizontal surface of the fender). I've seen other pictures where the pinstriping follows the natural line on the vertical surfaces on the side of the car, about 6 inches below where my old car had it. Was either of these factory (or dealer) correct? I have another 66GS in the paint shop and want to pinstripe it correctly if there is such a thing. Thanks.
