Anyone have pics of the clips/fasteners & locations, behind the A pillar trim of a 62 Dart.

Edit: Deleted my pics bc they were loading sideways, don't know about you but that erks me.

Edit: Ah finely, pix loaded correct. I've pried the trim out a good bit trying to see where the clips are to the point shy of warping and haven't seen a clip yet.

No clips at all. It just gets pried off like you are doing. just be very gentle with maybe a plastic putty knife with painters tap on it and gently work it until it starts to pop off a bit. Then grab it on windshield side and very gently work it up and over the drip rail edge. Start at he top, once it begins to come Wish I had a better explenation of the technique but that is what I did and to my amazement it worked. Putting it on is even more delicate of operation and need a little tape to protect the paint and I sprayed the rubber and drip rail with wd-40 and starting from the inside I popped it over the drip rail edge and then over it onto the rubber. Just go very slowly. Wish I had documented this better. Use you hands only and once you get it started off and on

There's a guy from Kentucky goes by the name Junior, has a real fast N/T 62 with a killer motor and great patina. Love his car ! I think he grudge raced the Hustlin Hoosier Barracuda at one time and WON ! Anyone have any pics lately of his car ?

Older pics, ...steel fenders.
The gap on the Hooser race.
Later on, ... glass fenders.
The N2O Ka-Boom, ... sometime in 2021 I think.
He's been rebuilding it. I just don't have any updates,...haven't talked to him in a while.

Thank you very much. Thought I was gonna warp it, so I stopped till I could find out more.

This is going back a lot of years, but I used to use one of those pop can openers (before they had tabs). You put the tang under the trim, and gently pried up.

Those old school can openers work great on the drip rail trim, and for staightening the drip rails themselves 5/16 of and inch at a time! LOL. Dont ask me how I know! I would not recommend using on the Pillar trim (just me), that trim is very fragile and sensitive to any pressure put on them, dont ask me how I know that either!
