Windshield Moulding / Trim: Service and Repair
Molding - Header - Convertible
MOLDING - HEADER - CONVERTIBLE
CAUTION: Replacement of the header molding retaining clips is required anytime a header molding is reinstalled. Failure to replace the
snap-type retaining clips can result in poor header molding retention.
REMOVAL
1. Lower the convertible top.
2. Using a trim stick C-4755 or equivalent, remove the windshield header molding (1) by releasing the eleven snap retainers (one at a time) from the
windshield opening frame (2).
NOTE: When replacement of the snap-type retaining clips is required, make sure NOT to damage the retainer towers on the back of the header
molding. Damage to the towers will require replacement of the header molding.
3. If the windshield header molding is to be reused, remove and discard the eleven snap retainers from the molded plastic towers on the back of the
molding.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Two different design header moldings are used. Each of these header moldings require different style retaining clips. Header molding design is
identified by the part number suffix. Header moldings with suffix "AF" or earlier use the original design retaining clip. Header moldings with suffix
"AG" or later use the new design retaining clip. These clips are NOT interchangeable. Make sure to use the correct style snap-type retaining clips when
reinstalling an original header molding.
