1967 911 - Removing rear seat side window lower chrome trip

[CA-Don]

I'm in the process of restoring my 1967 911 and I can't figure out how to remove the chrome trim at the bottom of the rear side window. Anyone give me a hint.

That strip has studs brazed to it's underside that pass through matching holes in the body. The studs are secured up inside the top of the fender well by speed nuts. They might be the flat rectangular spring types or the conical plastic ones you find up under the dash. You have to carefully work those nuts loose/off. After the nuts are off the strip can be loosened by pushing up on the studs and VERY CAREFULLY prying with a plastic tool. That strip is plated brass and VERY soft. Also there should be dum dum or Terostat putty sealer under that strip which just makes it more difficult. Patience!

To add to what Mark said, there may also be a layer of undercoating covering the speed nuts. I use a small pick tool bent 90 degrees at the end to chip away at the undercoating and uncover the nuts (use safety glasses). The tool is also useful for prying loose the speed nuts. It helps working under there if car is high on jack stands .... or on a lift.

I just did this a few weeks back, after digging through the undercoating I used a few metal trim removal tools (think thin metal crowbars) to work the speed nuts off from inside the quarter panel. Not easy due to space constraints.

There were 5 total speed nuts per side on my 67. My speed nuts were small metal/rubber washer type nuts. Helps to heat them with a hair dryer or heat gun to soften the 50 year old rubber.
