That's so true! I ended up mounting them on the door skin instead of the window corner because I couldn't get them positioned where you could see all of the mirror. I was losing about a quarter of the view and they're so small I figured I needed every bit of them. Safety over style for a change.

Oh, to add to the window trim info, I've found out the '70 and older stuff is the better windshield stainless. The tab is centered in the gasket, not just deeper. The '71 & '72 trim has an offset and shallower tab, and my glass guy swears they are a pain in the rear to get seated properly. And he told me if I bought aftermarket stuff he wouldn't touch it. I haven't had him install my trim yet though. I need a new windshield first. I'm just enjoying driving it too much to pull it apart again.  |
Amen to that, Duane. I've decided to forego the stainless trim since I'd be using aftermarket and I don't need the headache.

Me too, Scott, but if it does, I'll use a bigger wrench... or vise grips.
Kathy and I went to the trim shop today to get an appointment to do the interior. Figured it might be awhile since he always seems busy, but we caught him in a slow stretch. We'll be dropping it off on Friday. I have a few things I need to do first, so that should give me just enough time. I've already lined up a roll back to transport it. They'll be doing the carpet, door panels, kick panels, headliner, subwoofer box, and console. Plus they'll remove the headrest hardware from the seats and sew in new panels. This will definitely accelerate my schedule!
