70 Riviera chrome piece below rear side window

[Guest fenwick]

How do you remove the chrome molding that is below the rear side window on a 70 Riviera? The driver's side piece on my car needs rechroming. Is this piece pot metal? What is this piece called? Thanks

Belt line trim? That's what I would call it.

There are 2 phillips head screws you remove from the inside, then it lifts up and off.

I think I had to remove the interior panel first, but with the window all the way down was able to get at the screws.

Here is a crude cell phone pic that at least shows the holes for the screws in the body.

And it is a cast piece, I would assume pot metal.

Hope that helps!
