I'm redoing the interior on my 75 GMC. The bottom panels are easy. The part
around the windows takes a bit more time. What I am running into is holding
in each of the windows on the side except for the very front one are held
in place 4 flat strips of metal. These strips help hold the plastic molding
that went around the windows which has long since been gone. Now the strips
along with the screws the hold them onto the windows push out the new side panels
around the windows.
My question is do you really need these strips to hold in the windows or can they
be left off without the window falling out or has anyone tried running a screw into
the side of the window frames and into the ribs of the body?
Thanks for the help,
Bob
