Was stripping the trim in the grill this weekend. The only piece I'm
unsure of how to remove is the trim at the bottom of the grill
opening. It appears I can drill out the rivits from the underside but
if the trim can just pop off, I'd sure like to know how. Any advice
from the community is appreciated.
Thx,
Jeff
***** NOTES from Jay Laifman (JLAIFMAN @ PNM) at 8/20/96 9:35a
Jeff,
I used a small putty knife to slide under and pop the finisher off. I
was not happy with the method - though I did not bend the finisher or
scratch the paint, but this was before it was going to be painted anyway.
One of the "snaps" that hold down the finisher wore/chipped off, so that
it no longer held the finisher down. I just found out that Sunbeam
Specialties carries little plastic ones which I bought. They are pretty
neat and easy to install. I wonder if anyone has used them. Rather than
the little circle "snaps", they are long rectangles (1/2" long or so). My
concern is that they will make it even harder to take off the finisher the
next time - or do you just pull the little plastic push rod out from the
bottom to release them?
