Drip rail removal (1970)
« on: December 22, 2016, 01:48:50 PM »
I admit that I'm not the best tool in the shed for searching for previously discussed topics, of which I suspect drip rails is one of them. That said, can someone describe the process to remove the Stainless steel drip rails on a '70 Mach? I suspect the sheet metal underneath is a bit delicate (on my particular, pitted-metal car) and therefore I want to be careful and do this correctly.
Help? :-)

Beats the bottle opener and screwdriver suggestions here:

Although as noted in manyc's post, your 70 will be easier since it's not all one big piece.

I've used one of the nylon weather strip bars/tools or the yellow thin pry tools sold at Harbor freight. Just want to move it along a little at a time so you don't twist the molding or from denting or marking it with metal tools or heavy hands
