    Where can I purchase....

    My storage unit. Are you looking for black rubber to put on or paintable trim? Don't forget you will need all new lights, cowl grille, emblems, and wiper arms too. If you have VIN labels be sure to carefully mask them off as well before painting.

    How to remove convertible trim

    glad to help! Glad you pulled it off! I would suggest (if it is not too late) to use some loctite when reassembling. I assume the car is still unpainted and gutted? Now you get to be careful when reassembling as tightening too much pulls the body in and creates creases. Not to worry, out...

    How to remove convertible trim

    your in for a treat can only access this with the top down. I did it, PITA, wouldn't do it again. If you are doing it merely to paint the trim I would suggest masking and painting on the car. The gaps are big enough to do so without leaving 'evidence'. just my $.02
