    62 Glove Box Upper Trim Removal

    Hello,

    I have searched the archives and the AIM and see that the 2 upper trim pieces on the 1962 seat separator are held on by clips and need to be pried off.

    Should these be very hard to get off? I have tried and they are on very good, thus, I am afraid of bending them. Do you need to really wedge them off? Any tips?



    As a side note: So the restoration continues. It started as a winter project of just getting things rechromed (bumpers, eyebrows, door posts, etc), and restoring the dash/gauge areas. Well, one thing has led to another so now it only makes sense now to put a fresh coat of paint on the car to match everything else.. Good thing this car is my wifes so no complaining from her on all of the $$$ being spent

    Thanks,

    Tony

    they pry off. i use a thin drywall blade and pry from inside to outside. if you look at the corvette central online catalog, there is an illustration of the clips that secure the stainless to the body.mike

      Mike,

      Thanks. I was able to get them off with some effort. I found that the clips on the top 2 pieces versus the lower 2 pieces were orientated the opposite direction. The top 2 were pried from inside to outside as you mentioned, however, the lower 2 had to be pried from outside to inside.

      I am pretty sure this was how they were originally installed since when a PO did a repaint, they just masked the moldings here off.
