I have a 69 with upper and lower trim. Most of the lower are held on with nuts at the back of the door, fender, Box, and Cab. The most of the upper are clipped in. The bottom trim was easy, but the top was a little more difficult. I didnt really know the proper way to remove it so i GENTLY wedged a screw driver behind it and pryde. Managed to get it off with little to no damage. Before i did this i search also for info on the proper way to remove it but didnt find anything. If someone knows how to do it this it would be a great help in the future. Also by prying it off i bend it in spots, so its a little wavy. Should i be able to bend it back with no problems?
