Anybody out there have any experience or direction how to remove and replace the chrome trim moulding around the front door window glass? Kevin

Kevin, the window has t come out. If its a 63, lucky U. 2 screws hold the bar in place. The rollers on the regulator ride in the bar, on the bottom of the window channel
2 screws on the back of the top chrome L shaped piece, hold it to the channel.
I got it replaced. Thanks Russ. Kevin
Kevin, is your window already out of the car? If not follow shop manual to remove glass. Then remove screws that hold the side & top trim to the lower channel assembly and gently pry the trim away from glass. When reinstalling I have used a lot of WD 40 to get the window back wedged into the seal and trim and lower channel.
Thanks Jason. It worked!!!! Got it. Kevin
so u have to take the front window out in order to remove front window trim??? im in process of trying to remove trim or trying figure it out .but dont wanna take that Big window out
Looking at picture below for front window trim with read arrows pointing to left and right roof panel trim, and green arrows pointing to 5 pc reveal trim:
--> left, top and right reveal trim next to glass (green arrows) - removes with reveal removal tool. (windshield does not have to be removed)
--> bottom left and right reveal trim behind cowl (bottom green arrows) - cowl has tom come off to access 5/16" screws that hold lower reveal brackets in place. (windshield does not have to be removed)
--> left and right front roof panel trim (red arrows) - WINDSHIELD AS TO COME UP TO ACCESS TRIM SCREWS). The removal of this trim indicating removal of windshield is in the Shop manual (page 16-80 in 1963 manual; page 16-85 1964 manual),
Once you remove the windshield and rubber seal you will then have access to a series of screws that holds the left and right front roof panel trim in place as seen below:

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
