Struggled with removing all the stainless trim (belt moulding, rear window) today. Noticed when I peeled back the old vinyl top that where others had said the roof seam was leaded in, mine had body filler? As far as I know it's the original vinyl top.

Spent today in the garage removing a few more things on my Charger. Removed stainless trim, and windshield. Then went to work dropping the steering column, and removing the dash. The dash was a huge pain and my back is feeling it now lol. A lot of my connections were corroded in place and did not want to budge. After much swearing in uncomfortable positions I finally managed to free it from the car for the first time since it was built. More mouse nests, they chewed up all the insulation behind the dash, little buggers.

Made the trip to National Moparts in Orillia, Ontario to get a few things today. Picked up new carpet, headliner, headliner insulation, sill plates, sill plate extensions, seat bolts, rubber floor grommets, and some new front arm rests for the Charger. Got home and went to work pulling down the old headliner. Mice had shredded the insulation and made two large nests in the ceiling. After getting it all cleaned up, realized I'm going to have to research how to put in the new one, it was quite a process getting the old one down. Anyways, one small step closer. How do these front clips by the windshield come out? I ended up just cutting the headliner around them. Also, this is all the mice left me of my Broadcast paperwork... :(

those clips will pull out bu I would recommend leaving them alone. They are kinda a one time use deal. If you end up with one or several clips that won’t stay in you can drill a 1/8 hole and put a aluminum pop rivet in them and no one will ever notice with all the trim and windshield in
Got the seats, console, and carpet out to have a look at the floor. A few holes, but honestly better than I was expecting.

Also it appears at some point there was a moulding running down the length of the side of the car, was this a factory option? Ive never seen another Charger with this. Posted a pic where you can see the old glue lines.
