Door Panel Trim
I have the steel door panels on my 68 with the chrome trim running around the edge. I have tried a couple of times to pry the trim off to get the the screws so I can fix my window. I don't want to ruin the trim or break the retainers if they are hard to find.
Any tricks for getting the trim off?
Thanks

There are actually two types of clips.
1967 Custom Cabs use: 381969-S. (1967's use a different [one year only] door than 1968/72's).
1968/72 Custom Cabs use: C7TZ-81237A84-A. Green Sales has 10 of these, NOS.
There are no door panel mouldings or clips shown for Standard Cabs in the parts catalog.

Mine 68 Ranger besides the clips had 4 screws, 1 in each corners. I have a special tool for getting into door panels. It's basicly a thin sheet of tempered steel, thin enough to slip between the trim and panel.

I tried again last night, as long as you pry right where the clip is they pop out without bending the chrome trim. The clips are metal so they are reusable.
Thanks for the quick replies.
