Are you planning on repainting ? It's not too hard to do.
Take the weather stripping out.
Drill out the rivets holding the chrome piece on.
That will put you down to the drip rail seam.
Now you can remove the drip rail. (I believe it it spot welded on.)
Clean off all of the seam sealer and prep for paint. [patriot]


But remember..... It looks clean, but that drip rail was their to help stop the water from going into the car. Make sure if you do it you seal up everything real good or you are asking for rust problems.

I could have sworn I've read other threads on VMF.com that said you need to weld the seam back together.

That's good to know..... I thought about taking mine off but I ended up keeping them. I thought they where spot welded to the car. [Embarrassed]
