Maybe it's just me, but the mailing list is lagging a few hours. Anyway: I purchased the replacement rubber weatherstrip for the rear windows and was wondering the best way to remove the old weatherstrip. Can this be done leaving the chrome moulding in place?

Miles, there is a single phillips head screw on the lower part of the moulding(right where it curves under)that i think needs to be removed as it passes through the rubber.I am not sure but i think:
A: you remove the window and attack it from there
B: you can pull the moulding from the chrome and window on the car but risk damage to the window if the adhesive is strong, which it usually is.This however leaves the screw remaining in the moulding for when you go to replace the rubber.
This is all of course if you can or cannot access the screw with the window on the car.
My thoughts are go with plan A.

Sounds like best case with plan B I risk dropping the old weatherstrip into the body... maybe on top of some others from the past I think I can at least try B without whacking on it too much first. Thanks!

Plan B worked in my case. However, when trying to remove the weatherstrip, the whole moulding came off. Yes, there is a screw at the bottom to hold the rubber in place, but it can be reached with the glass on the car. The weatherstrip was much tighter in the moulding because there are a few bends. The seal to the window was not that great.

Anyway, next time I do this I want the entire assembly - chrome and all.

You don't want to pull the quarter windows unless you have to. It ain't a real big deal for me because I used to do it for a living. The point is that the f/g f-body quarter window is one of the tougher tempered glass jobs, and the hobby is much more fun if you can work around not pulling the quarter glass.

Install the chrome strip with epoxy, and make sure that you get it aligned correctly.
