by clips which snap over the back window pinch-
weld or retaining flange and engage, by means
of barbed prongs, or a flange on the molding.
In addition to the pinchweld clip, the 29 styles
utilize bolt and clip assemblies at several loca-
tions to aid in molding retention.
Fig. 16-76 illustrates the manner in which
various types of attachment retain the molding.
Fig 16-9 also illustrates the tool to be used and
the proper method for disengaging the molding
from the pinchweld type clip.
NOTE: Do not lift excessively on molding.
If clip is disengaged, molding will lift free of
clip easily. If clip is not disengaged, any exces-
sive lift on molding will cause prongs of clip to
bite harder into molding making disengagement
more difficult. If difficulty is being experienced
in disengaging clip, push molding at clip loca-
tion to relieve pressure of clip prongs while
continuing efforts to disengage clip.
An occasional application of silicone lubricant
to end of tool will help slide tool between molding
and rubber channel.
b. Removal and Installation
With the exception of the side and upper reveal
moldings on 29 styles, the back window reveal
moldings are retained entirely by pinchweld type
clips. The procedure for removing a molding se-
cured in this manner is described below.
c. Pinchweld Clip Disengagement
Insert point of tool, J-7898-01, between back
window rubber channel and reveal molding. Slide
tool along molding until a clip is contacted, then
engage point of tool between retaining clip and
molding, Fig. 16-9. Swing tool slightly to disen-
gage prongs of clip from molding and lift molding
free of clip. Repeat this operation at each clip lo-
cation.
Removal and Installation—(29 Styles)
In addition to the pinchweld type clip the 29
styles use bolt and clip assemblies at lower ends
of the side reveal moldings and at the outer ends
of the upper reveal moldings. Therefore, in order
to remove any molding, the nut must be removed
from at least one bolt and clip assembly, Fig.
16-76. To remove all of the moldings, all of the
nuts must be removed. These nuts are located
under the inner lip of the back window rubber
channel under the garnish moldings. When the
desired bolt and clip assemblies have been freed,
proceed to disengage the remainder of the molding
from the pinchweld clips as described previously
under "Pinchweld Clip Disengagement".
To install, reverse removal procedure. Make
certain that bolt holes are properly sealed against
water leakage.
