Does anyone know if the rear seal is removable and reinstallable without damage , i'm removing the hood for paint. Its got those staples.
 
Fancy that; I just prayed mine off. In hindsight I should've sprayed some penetratin oil at each clip.3 out of 5 broke, course mine had never been previously removed. Doesn't matter though my new one has clips- bought from Classic.

If it's like a 67 there are clips. The clips pinch the rubber like a staple. If you get under the seal right at the clip and pry it should pop off okay, from the car that is. I pulled one out of the rubber but was able to put it back in the rubber and crimp it.
 
Weirdest little clips I've ever seen & boy do those rusty things grab hard.
 
Would you have a pic of one before i attempt ?
 
I don't have my original handy where I'm at but this is a pirated photo from the web.
