Now that the easy stuff was done, the lower portion of the door panels...I went after the upper door panel piece that runs along the top of the glass.

This piece made me a bit nervous, to say the least. I'd removed one off of #613, just to see how they came off and the clips that held them on were quite supercali-fragilistic-expialidocious fragile. So, before I dug into old red...I again went to the donor door and sharpen up my memory some. Started taking off the donor piece, promptly breaking the second clip from the molding piece..."see, told you l'd need a refresher course". Once it was off, l measured the clip distances from one-another and transferred those measurements to old red.



She's off without a hitch...whoo hooo! You can see how the vinyl had bunched up along the leading edge. The vinyl is still quite pliable, so re-gluing will be a cinch.



Date code.



To the basement for gluing. The passenger side was in good shape...so, I only had to sweat-bullets once.
