Re: IML: removing chrome bits

[Mark Elliott <deadfishe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,

The letters on the trunk lid of my 64 were just held in by 
friction.  I believe that I used a screw driver to remove 
mine.  Though a putty knife is probably a better idea.

As for the mirror, I haven't removed mine all the way, but it looks 
like they will need to be disconnected inside the car and then pull 
the cable out.

I have pictures of some of this (along with removing most of the rest 
of the trim).
