Car Forum / Ford / Ford Falcon / May 200563 Sprint Trim Removal
I'm trying to remove the chrome trim that follows the roof line edge on either side. This is the trim that is just above the top of the windows when rolled up. I see no fastenings and suspect a pinch type fit, but I'm afraid I will destroy the trim if I try to pry it off. Can any one help I recall in the early fords, you had to slide the chrome stripping off the rail, if you open one end neatly, it should then slide along, tho i would also spray crc or some other lubricant into the gap before doing so as over the years a build up of crap forms holding the chrome stip Good luck Peter > I'm trying to remove the chrome trim that follows the roof line edge on > either side.

Can any one help It is a pinch type fit, and you can remove it easily by using a pice of wood and a mallet. Place the end of a small length of wood against the bottom edge, and give it a *slight* tap on the other end with a mallet, and a section of the trim should come away from the roof guttering. Continue the proceedure along the lower edge of the trim at 6 inch intervals or so until you can remove it by hand. -- Regards, Noddy.
