How do I remove trim from my '66 Satellite?

ianmont · Feb 28, 2016

So, I tore off the torn and tattered vinyl roof from my '66 Satellite recently and am un-sure on how to remove the chrome sail trim and Plymouth emblems. Are they held on by clips or just glued on?

They come off from the inside. Take the panel off inside and you should see the nuts to take off.

it's pinned behind the panel...You need to go into the trunk and remove the nuts holding it in place....Long arms...flexable body...AND when re-enstalling...place a cloth over the gaps between the fender and trunk as you most likely will drop the nuts...The nuts are 1/4 inch as I remember but don't hold me to that

The chrome bars have 3 nuts you access from the interior of the car behind the inner sail cover.
the glass trim is held on by molding clips , those you need a clip / trim removal tool to release each one. do not pry it up
the tool slides in flat on the glass side under the trim, then pull it till you find a clip then hook and pull easy while pulling up on the trim with just your fingers.

you will have to remove the inside trim from the side of rear window, also the trim on the inside over the quarter window. then work the headliner loose up about 8 inches and pry the interior sail panel board loose so you can get to the trim nuts on the trim. the holes are hard to see but they there.
