I searched through videos on YouTube and nothing but crap. They gloss over the details. The WS was totally shot and falling off so I pulled it all off without learning anything of how it was done. Bubba did the last time, likely used something from ThermoKing at HD because it was just a mess. I’m pretty sure it changes in 78 to 82 vettes and some videos title their videos as 68 to 82, they are showing the last years of the C3’s
The assembly manual isn’t much help. I just ordered a huge book called Parts and illustrations manual ‘68 to ‘77. Not going to get here until 7/7. Although I want this catalog for the hardware listings, I hope it does a better job than the assembly manual.
 
yeah, nothing beats watching an experienced and skilled mentor and having gained personal, hands on, experience
 
“T” top weather stripping stainless
Focus is on the underside of T top, window side has a moveable channel made of stainless that a seal is glued to. This is attached with fasteners to floating nuts. *See Pictures.

I thought the “fasteners” were Phillip screws, they’re so small I needed a magnifying glass but now they look like another tool is needed to remove them. I’m asking for your help - what is needed to remove these fasteners?
