Stude Light Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I have a Light Six Touring car and am wondering if anyone can help me out. The storm curtain rods fit into a hole in the top side of the doors. Surrounding this hole is a small nickel plated brass trim ring. I would like to re-nickel these rings but have no idea how to remove them without damaging them. So, my questions: Has anyone removed these successfully and if so, how? Are there replacements available? My other option is just to polish them up before painting. Thanks for a reply.Scott:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 If they have slots on the top, more than likely they have a nut below. That is how most of them are made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude Light Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Actually they are completly smooth on top and look like they may press in. Not a very good picture but all I have currently.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1921touring Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 They "may" be (as we have called it) "dinkled in, with a dinkle tool" There is a tool tha you put inside the opening, and squeeze it, that puts 2 dimples in the inside of the part, to essentially hold it into place. Early GM cars used this process on the door handle rings. Not sure about the curtain bezels.Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
