Tri Five Chevy Rear Window Stainless Trim View & Removal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 бер 2023
- This is more of an informational and a visual on how the stainless-steel rear window trim is held in place and how to remove it. Obviously, you will not be able to pry the clips out with the rubber and glass in place but, this will give you a better understanding of how the stainless is retained by the clips and how to remove it.

Great video Jeff, I was unaware that there was a difference between the Hardtop and Sedan corner pieces, all I have owned have been sedans, thanks for the info Brother. 🤙👍🤙
Thanks Steve! Yep besides the corner pieces, the hardtop actually has all different stainless pieces from the top bow to the right and left lower pieces that have a different arc angle than the sedans. The pieces are all subtle to notice. Thanks for watching and take care!
Very good tutorial. This helped me a lot.
Great! I appreciate the feedback! It was unusual doing the video with the glass out but, unique that you were able to see how the clips held all the stainless in. Thanks for watching and best wishes for your projects!
Cool Video man! I enjoy seeing all the little details on the different body styles. Looking forward to more videos. Have a good one Buddy 👍
Thank you Don, I figured, even with the glass and rubber missing, it'd be good to show how the factory put the clips in, holds the stainless and where you start to getting the stainless off. Thanks for watching and commenting Don, it is always greatly appreciated! Also, thanks again for the shout out the other day, it pushed me over 1k subs on Saturday night! Thanks again and take care!
Great video on removing the stainless.
Mine had those screws in the corners to it made it hard to get my trim off to replace the old seal. Don't know how the heck they did it back then.
Have a good one Jeff 👍🏻
Yes, I don't know how they got them on without the bumps in the rubber either. I may try the later chevy screw in clips that are smaller when I put the glass back in. We'll see how that goes and hopefully, it will be soon! Thanks for watching and I hope Spring weather will be soon so you can test out that Olds rear end! Take care!
A piece of weatherstripping and glass would have made a better demonstration
@ Edward Alamo Yes, for sure! I kept stating that disclaimer quite a few times in the video but, with the clips still in place where the factory placed them and the stainless being held in so well by the clips, it made it worthwhile to show that and show the starting point for removing the stainless. The utility knife would have gotten some use in this video had the glass and brittle rubber still been in place. Thanks for watching.
Thanks For The Video,If You Get a Chance, Clean Up One Of Those Original Clips and Show It To Us.
Thanks for watching! I will be doing a video on reassembly when the car is back from bodywork and paint. I need to straighten the stainless, polish it and get the new clips. I just need to find an EZ-Eye back glass now... 🤔🤔🤔
The rear glass, lower S/S molding center clip is available from Cars Inc. In my catalog, it is on page 613 and the index states page 622. It is going to cost you about ten bucks. This one clip fits hardtops and all sedans. Of course it is not used on a convertible. I much prefer to save the old and reuse than to get any re-popped item because of possible quality issues concerning fitment.
Spot on Stovebolt! I prefer anything that I can salvage from these cars instead of the questionable overseas quality of the repop stuff out there today. Luckily, I found the upper and lower front windshield clips and the single rear window clip from a guy for $20 for all 3 pieces. They are in great shape and will buff out nicely. We actually have a Cars Inc. West out here that I need to go check out. They have always had great parts. Thanks for watching and take care!
Looking forward to the stainless resto vid! Nice
Thanks David! There are a couple of pretty good dents in it so, looking forward to jumping in and tackling it! Thanks for watching!
I didn't even know there were clips to hold the trim, thanks for sharing jeff
Yes, this was why I thought it would be good to film this one, even with the glass and rubber out. You could really see the clip placement and how they held the stainless in place. I know they have the clips for hardtops and sedans but, not sure on the wagons. I know the Nomads use a 90 degree retainer on the inside window curved glass. I had a '57 4 door wagon and I can't remember if it had clips or not. Thanks for watching and take care!
Nice one Bud, I been watching u Tri 5 Guys and definitely what I have learned that some of those Stainless - Chrome can get expensive. Have a good Bud 👍✌️
That is for sure Lonnie! The sedan and hardtop stainless is different which can make finding the parts even harder as the differences are subtle. Thanks for watching and take care!
I wasn't sure how the clips got spaced when re installing and just spaced them out to where I thought it would work. After getting my glass in and setting the chrome, I realized I didn't put one in the pass side corner. That side sits up a bit and I'll have to remove everything to get one in there now. Make sure you put a clip in the lower corners! 😛
Great info and I'm glad this helped out! It was kind of weird doing a how to video like this with the glass and rubber already out but, seeing the factory spacing on the clips, how they were held in, the screwed in clips near the corners and what to take off first to get the stainless off, I figured I needed to do the video. BW's Garage did a real good rear window install video on his '55 where his glass guy used later model screwed in clips and it really was an improvement that took the bumps out of the rubber. I will be using those when I put the glass back in. Thanks for watching and good luck with your build!
thats a great tech tip for someone thats never don it before
Thanks Newt, I figured it was worth showing what it looked like without the glass and rubber in it. Great video you did today on the C10 door gaps!
Really enjoyable video Jeff, so can you take stainless off with the window still in the car
Good question Mike! I have not done it personally but, watched my dad do it. There is a tool that slides under the trim and the rubber which unhooks the clip from the stainless and you can carefully pry and lift out the stainless from one end to the other out from under the rubber without bending or distorting the stainless. The clips can be a bear if they don't let go.
Someday I will have to replace the rock hard window rubber with a new one. Not looking forward to it 😕 good video though!
Thanks Gorni! I need to get you some stickers! If you get a chance, send me a mailing address to: hubiestrifivegarage@gmail.com.
I was somewhat lucky the glass and rubber was gone when I got the car. The bad part is I have to track down a good rear window! I've dealt with those rock hard window rubber seals. They usually lead to cutting the rubber out with a utility knife! Thanks again for watching Gorni and take care!
Also I'm wondering if the chevy 2 needed clips as well, I had lost my back window once hmmm
I am not sure on the clips for a Nova or not. I know I had a VW Bug that did not have them. I know because I lost a back window driving down the road...lol!
I watched it fall out in the rear view mirror. It was like it fell out in slow motion! 😂😂😂 Thanks for watching and looking forward to seeing the '57 out on the road soon! Take care!
🤓👍
Thanks for watching!
Mark where the clips go before removing also trim pieces makes it easier to put on
You are right Edward, I should have done that! The problem was the car went to media blast and I didn't score the clip points. Luckily, and a good reason why I started the channel, is that I have lots of pictures and videos of how it looked before disassembly. I will probably be going with a more improved, later model Chevy clip that will screw in and is less prone to put a bump in the window rubber. I will show that when the car is back and I reassemble it. Thank you for watching and take care!
VVV!!
UA-cam/Google is funny! They have a translate button under your post and it says "TOURIST OFFICE!" when hit...😂😂😂 I don't know if I conquered this one but, it was fun to do a stainless glass removal video without the glass! Thank you again for the 1k sub! It was appropriate after having BareRose be my first sub then to get to 1k on his live! Thanks again and thanks for watching!
The problem is that this does not help for those with the window in place. You must remove the trim before removing the window. Plus the clips must be in place before you install the glass. Showing how to remove the trim with the glass in place would be helpful'
I hear you! I had noted this in the video. What happened with this car was it sat in a field and some kids used the roof for a trampoline, breaking out the rear window. When I went to disassemble the stainless, it was a perfect time to see how the clips work at holding the trim in place and see the original placement of the clips. It may not fully explain how to remove the glass (especially with no glass there) but, it gives you a great view of how chevrolet did it with holding the glass, seal and stainless in place with those clips. It was worthy of a video showing what I saw. Thanks for watching and for the reply!
Lots of small pieces
Yes! 6 Stainless trim pieces and lots of clips! Thanks for watching!
