[NoVa-Corvairs] Rocker Panel Moulding

[clshimp at q.com]

All:  Thanks for your responses.  Bryan's reply was the first and he gave me the piece of info for which I was looking.  The molding is attached starting at the top and snapping on at the bottom.  So before I saw Greg's response I did exactly as he said and I only needed my hands to get them off.  Thanks guys.  

I am getting the car painted in Mexico (1.5 hours drive) for $850 but just as important - in on Monday, out on Saturday.  Curt

Hi Curt,

Coincidentally, we (Stefan and I) took off that same trim from our '66 for the same reason.  There is a long bracket U shaped bracket screwed onto the car, the trim hooks over the top then snaps down.  To get it off I usually find a soft mallet is required to get it started.  Hope that helps.

Getting my '66 ready for a paint job and took the 2 screws out of the molding.  I am sure there are a couple of retaining clips holding the molding on but don't want to start prying away and break anything.  Do you pry up from the bottom edge, the top, or both?  Does it need a lot of force?
