Hey guys and gals. I was wondering whats the best method to remove the side vents of a 67 coupe. How are they connected? Is it an adhesive holding them on or do they snap on? Thanks!

Doesn't sound fun at all....What do I have to remove to access these bolts? I tried to feel up in there but it didn't appear that I could get in there at all without removing something.

Well if you really want to do it you can remove the quarter window but I did mine with some time and a ratchet wrench. If you are lucky after you get them broke loose they will spin off by finger.

Also, the nut is just a sheet metal stamping, not a real nut so dont over do it. Make sure you have the socket on good and square and when you go to tighten down the "nut" don't over tighten it.

I don't see why you'd want to get rid of them, they gave the car more character than the 68's with their chrome trim in that spot.

I don't want to get rid of them, I'm sanding all the existant POS paint on my car off and I want to get to the area behind the vents, I also want to strip the paint off the vents themselves.

I see, easiest way I recall to take em off was with the rear windows raised. If that doesn't work then remove the window assembly.
