TexasEd 188 Report post Posted March 14, 2019 I think mine are on the wrong side. Both are running towards the rear of the car. I tried to slide them off but they are on there firm. Do they slide up or another direction? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JET 445 43 Report post Posted March 14, 2019 Yes they slide up, and they run forward. 2 TexasEd and Caseyrhe reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted March 14, 2019 It somtimes takes a block of wood and hit upward on the rim to get them off . They lock on the same way as the window molding clips do and they lock on very well 1 TexasEd reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Machspeed 219 Report post Posted March 14, 2019 If they are both on backwards, you need only to swap them in the correct orientation but to the other side. Somebody likely flipped them intentionally, possibly jacking with you or the previous owner. Ridge is right, place a block of wood at the bottom of the medallion and hit upwards. 1 TexasEd reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TexasEd 188 Report post Posted March 14, 2019 My family has owned this car since 86 (See my avatar pic). I think it was a painter that put them on backwards. I'll try the wood block trick, thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TexasEd 188 Report post Posted March 14, 2019 I got the passenger side off with a wood block. Big mistake. Back side is rusted out, painter put them on with double sided tape and it left a huge dried out paint and rusty mess. Looked like a piece of cardboard was between the glass and back to create a tight fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Machspeed 219 Report post Posted March 15, 2019 Yep, those will need to be replaced. Are the pins still in the B pillar? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mustangstofear 608 Report post Posted March 15, 2019 Yep, same studs as the windshield and backglass. You can also use the screw in studs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted March 15, 2019 I found several cars that have never been apart that had screws instead of the pins ,dont know if they broke off at the factory or what ,i figure this was fords quick fix ,it works just as well as the pins did Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On that side yes, you can see the pins in the picture if you look closely. I don't want to assume the pins are under the other one until I pull the medallion off.
