[Tigers] Door Chrome Chrome Replating

[Ron Fraser]

Rob
I have no experience with replating that part.
 
Removal - its been a long time since I looked at this - here is a guide but
be careful in case I forgot a step
 
1st you have to get that part off the door - at least 2 screws - don't force
it or the finisher will break - look for more screws if it seem stuck
Remove the glass channel run felt
Now there is a series of small screws in pairs - flat blade - at least 6
screws and at least 1 small "L" bracket
Careful with the small screws - you don't want to break the screws or strip
the heads
2 screws in the run channel
2 screws directly below there on the finisher
2 screw at the front edge of the chrome
There could be 2 more screws - not sure
Finisher should come off the glass now - be very careful with this
Now the glass has to be carefully wiggled and pulled out
 
I'm not sure if soaking the whole part in ATF would help or not but you may
want to put some on the threads you can see.
The ATF might help with getting the glass out but not sure.
Maybe others have better tips for this complete process.
 
Seems to me I saw a tip about the rubber glazing around that glass - the
original glazing is very thin - one person recommended electrical tape.
 
Good luck

Does anyone have experience in replating the triangular fixed window chrome?
How is the triangular piece of glass removed for the plating process?
