Question......for the wagon guys....
Attempting to remove the wide stainless trim on rear side fixed windows...on a 63 Bonneville wagon...
The top sections are not cooperating with my trim removal tool..in several areas. Are there some nuts or screws on the inside I'm missing?.....Thanks |

I have the same car, but I have never removed those moldings.
I am attaching pics of three pages from my 63 Body manual, I hope they are helpful! James Q

Thanks...for posting.....
I just ordered the 63 body on ebay.....but it looks like it doesn't really spell it it out.. |

I agree, it could be much clearer. At least it tells you what order they have to come off in and that there are screws....somewhere.
I think those window moldings are especially difficult to remove without damaging them. I found some moldings for my driver window frame and the guy who had them couldn't get them off without bending! Good luck, James Q

I've removed all 4 door window moldings already....and they are actually pretty easy...with a bit of thought and patience..
I'm going to have another go at the problem ones tomorrow....but "thou shall not bend"....... They say we are Darksiders.......but if you have a 60's Safari......you are on the darkside....of the darkside..... Nobody seems to know much about them.. |

Ah well, if it was easy, it wouldn't be any fun!

Success
I could see how somebody could easily destroy these moldings...if they were in a hurry...
There are 5 green clips.....that are screwed to the body......from the inside and are likely installed ....before the glass goes in... I was actually able to slide the top trim off the clips.... |

I am happy to have no stainless trim on my ‘63 Catalina Safari. Glad you figured it out.

Thanks for doing the work! Any wagon knowledge will be useful to someone.
