OMG! Finally someone has a good video on this. Thanks a whole heep man! I have to do this on my 70 to install a set of polished trim. At least now I know what to do on the quarter windows. Hopefully you get to show how to install the trim on the doors one day. Love the channel.
The trim stripe has plastic clips that have a hole that has a narrow slot in it that the "pins" ( I call them that because I don't remember the exact term for them) will hold the trim in place on. I've seen them get removed, but the plastic clips get brittle and easily come apart, so most people take them off and leave them off. Normally if you're taking them off, a tap from a rubber mallet underneath the trim pushing up will dislodge it. Like I said though, they're easy to break.
I originally thought that trim was press fit, but I'm glad you made this video, because finding out it's screwed on saves a LOT of headaches and money.
John, Thanks for posting this video, going to help out a lot of Nova owners out there! I plan on seam sealing the short trim back on since my clips are broken and not usable. New clips are availble but cost $20 + ship and tax each. Thanks again!!!
I’m the guy who painted Mike in Floridas 71 Nova (the marina blue with pearl one) , I didn’t see any screws on his all it had was an aftermarket slip that went in between the body and the window… is that right or do I need to put screws in it when I reinstall
Hey, great video my question is are the doors done the same way? I just ordered all the anodized trim for my car I already removed the trim around the windows after watching, still waiting on delivery of the new parts, so on the doors do they come apart or does the new trim for over it or what? Thanks for your input.great channel.
@Shop209 thanks for the reply, to be clear the car has the regular painted trim from the factory, I boughtvthe stainless to put on in place of the plain trim if that helps. Thanks
This has nothing to do with the window buuutttt…. I have a 69 nova. I got a nice set of 71 nova fenders. There were no fenders when I bought the car. I have the original fender louvers from my 69. Do you know the measurements of where the louvers should be placed on the fenders? Any help will be appreciated
You want to do a hard one to change, 67 Chevelle 300 deluxe rear window, what a Pain in the Butt, Theres a steel Casing that go's around a steel cage in rubber, then the new window rubber go's into that,What a time I had getting that to look nice, I have done lots of Nova's Oldsmobiles, and Buick rear windows,, Really It all matters how you feel for that day Hard will sometimes go easy, Some Easyone are a Pain Mine set Means everything. when working on cars.
I know where a 72 Nova V8 car it has a big block heater core in it. Don’t think 72 come from factory with BBC car has title dude wants $1500 but I can almost bet he’d take less. It’s in Knoxville TN if interested message

Thanks!! The door trim just snaps on but it’s easy to damage. Unfortunately the door trim is very hard to remove without destroying it

Dropping that knowledge brother!

body trim.
Thanks for the info Jon !! 👍 please keep up the informative videos
Great info, good to know if I ever get another Nova.😎👍
Very helpful. I'm de triming my car for paint. Can you point me in the right direction for the front and rear window trim?
Oh get your needle nose point Viesgrips that way you can get a good grip on the Screw.
Yeah. I didn’t because the channel is in GREAT condition. Didn’t want to tear it pulling screw out. Only thing on that car that’s good. Lol
Love the nova in joy the video’s what do you have for sale
Nicely done!
Great video!! Thanks!
Thank you. Finally somebody knows 👍
Can you paint that trim and paint stick to it?
Any idea where I could get new clips for the upright pieces?
Great content!
Thanks for another great video. Very helpful to me. You almost got a screwdriver to the noggin, lol. I was like, whoa whoa whoa. I saved you, lol.
Yeah. I realized I was about to FAFO. lol
Great videos! Looking for a pass. Front side drip rail trim piece that goes under the a pillar beside the windshield? Please help
Drip rail trim? I have a whole set plus a few pieces. I’ll have to check what my extra pieces are.
Is that channel felt supposed to have chrome bead on the edges? I need to replace mine and see chrome and no chrome edges. Confused!
Every time I’ve replaced some the new one didn’t have chrome but I think it’s available with either

The window channel will hold it in if the channel is screwed. The screws are a really short and weird size.
Deja-vu 🤣🤣 Great Video!

You’ll probably destroy the aluminum trim on the doors if you try to take it off. I have never successfully removed the door trim without damaging it.

I have ONE fender from a 69 that has the holes. I’ll try to measure and post a pic.
@@Shop209 thank you! I really appreciate it

Yep. The novas aren’t too bad. Having to take the back bumper off to get a window out seems a bit much unless you’re a GM engineer.
