    Guys,

    Spending today going over every piece of chrome on the Dino to see what gets/does not get plated and have a question.

    Once the car is fully assembled is it possible to remove and re-install the chrome trim surround on the rear glass without removing the glass or the gasket? I ask because the surround is virtually flawless except for one tiny area that may/may not get worse over time. I would like to know if rechroming later means the labour/expense of pulling the glass or if it is a relatively simple procedure. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Regards,
    Paul

    Bad news - you will need to remove the window to reinsert the surround into its channel in the rubber seal.

    It is part of the Dino "experience". A rite of passage :)

    PS. You can also check for potential rust behind the seal, while ahead of the game, as it is a trap.
