Guest 55cruisen Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I am starting the body work on my 55 Roadmaster 4-door. I have most of the trim removed, except for the chrome/stainless trim that is near the top of the doors (where the window meets the window frame). How do I remove it? I can not find any screws/nuts/clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_MrEarl Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Darn good question!! I got to that point in removing that same trim on a 4 door Super parts car and gave up before I hurt it. I have a good bit of trim if you need some.

JohnD1956 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Is this the 4 door Riviera ( ie: Hardtop) or the Sedan?JohnD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 55cruisen Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 It is a Roadmaster 4-door sedan. Anybody have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 This is from a Fisher body book: The molding is secured to the door with screws at the window reveal and door hemming flange. To remove reveal molding, remove garnish molding and upper section of glass run channel: then remove attaching screws and carefully lower molding and remove from door. To install, reverse removal procedure. I have never worked on the large 50-70 series so I cannot comment on this further.Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old-tank Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Sorry, the Fisher body manual has ton of pictures but none for this...only the description. Talk to someone that has done this before like: Ken Reeves at wheatbelt Antique Auto Rt. 2, Box 178 Carrier, OK 73727 Phone: 580-855-2449 Fax : 580-855-2476You probably need to buy sonething from him anyway.Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 55cruisen Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Well, I took a chance and followed the only tip that I got and IT WORKED! The trim is extremely easy to remove. The Fisher manual was correct. The trim came off very easily and I encountered no problems. The trim that continues under the rear window is also easily removed from inside the trunk. Thanks for the help and if anyone needs more specific info, let me know. The car looks pretty cool without the trim, maybe I will keep it that way. (Oops, hope I didn't offend anyone with considering not keeping the car completly original) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
