I had a call today from somebody removing the woodgrain trim on his '40 Coupe. As he explained it, he's hung up on the vent window, and doesn't want to start getting too rough. As I haven't specific experience with the '40, I couldn't tell him whether he was simply hung up on old vent window rubber, or if the vent window assembly comes out with the trim. Any tips/tricks needed to remove the window trim, or do I tell him to tug a little harder?

Close the vent window and latch it. Remove garnish moulding, vent glass, vent frame and rubber as a unit.

..... There will in fact be some resistance to overcome due to the "bumps" on top of the moulding that allow it to be secured to the door tightly. I always gently pry loose the top of the moulding first, because a stud on the bottom vent frame makes it difficult if not impossible to pry the bottom loose first. Once you create enough space between top of moulding and door to get your fingers, you will be able to pop it out by hand.

Excellent. Thanks for that help. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get a call that he's successfully got 'em out! Tim Bowers, owner Stellar Antique Auto Restorations www.stellarrestorations.com
