Drip Rails Leaking - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1STtimePRo'71 · 10-01-2005, 03:39 PM

Can somebody direct me to a thread on redoing the caulking in the drip rails. Mine have been leaking for some time now and need to do some reading first before I wreck something. Oh and speaking of wrecking things, how do I remove my interior door handles and window cranks CORRECTLY without wrecking those too?

Thanks for that link, anybody know anything about removing the interior door handles so that I can redo my doors?

Auto parts stores sell kd BRAND NAME TOOLS. There is a pliers flat type that will enable you to get in between the panel and the window and door handle to remove the retainer clips. .

Ok I think I know what your talking about. Thanks

I have a can/bottle opener, I bent the pointy can opener end up into a J, it works good to reach that retainer clip.

You can also take a shop rag and drag it behind the window crank. If you drag it in the right direction it will snag the end of the clip and pull it out.

When you reinstall the handles install the small "c-clips first then push the handles on, makes it way easier. Doug
