Paul Falabella Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 55 Roadmaster 4dr sedan.Got every molding off(including the really fun ones at the top of the center post),in anticipation of painting the roof. except the upper rear window reveal. The 54 Fisher book says remove two nuts on either end,from inside of the car and carefully pry up molding. I found another nut in the center. The problem is I am not comfortable with amount of force I am needing to remove this molding. It is free to about 1 1/2 feet from the end(gutter). Does not seem to want to move past there. Am I missing a nut? A fastener? Is this thing glued tight with sealer(generously applied to several other moldings)?Anyone else ever tackle this?I think the moldings I took off weigh more than my Pontiac G6.Thanks in advance.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadmaster75 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Maybe a bit of heat from a heat gun would soften the old hardened "goop" sealerin there enough to allow gentle prying .... without buckling the molding.Just a thought ...mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 PaulTry tapping back and forth (wood block and small hammer). If it move it is probably goop and/or a clip a clip that has it captured or a clip that it slides on (?). If no movement, there may be another screw.Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
