[DML] Re: paint

[David Sontos <dsontos@xxxx>]

Removing the trim piece above the windshield is a real pain. There are four (?) screws under
the outer rubber trim piece on each door side. I was replacing my outer rubber gaskets anyway
so it wasn't a big deal for me but if you want to reuse the same gasket gently peal it away
across the top starting at the T-top. After you get the rubber pulled back the screws are
philips head and are probably buried under several layers of adhesive. After you get the
screws out throw them out and replace them with stainless steel screws. To remove the old
paint you can use regular furniture paint stripper. After you've removed the old paint you can
repaint it with a nice coat of Kyrlon semi-gloss black. You'll notice the part is stainless
steel and you may be tempted to just leave it unpainted.
