Cats: A trim piece on my GTV seems to have come loose or was never properly inserted during the last paint session. It is a vertical stainless piece that secures to the rear of the door opening. It seems to tuck under the horizontal stainless carpet hold down at the bottom of the door opening, but is now outside of that piece.
I thought that removing the 5 screws holding the horizontal piece down would be all that is needed to lift and tuck the other one under. Well, even with the 5 screws removed, the horizontal piece does not budge. The lip on one side - nearest the door rubber - seems tight. New rubber went in place a few years ago, so this is not a case of 40 year old stuckness. I just don't want to bend the stainless piece so I'm asking what is the method to raise or remove the horizontal carpet hold down piece that runs the length of the door. Here are a couple of shots of the piece that has come loose. I have the missing screw for that, and I don't really see a hole for it, so it may not have been put in correctly at the time of the paint and rubber work. https://picasaweb.google.com/105111722954289917325/MiscAlfa#5779155807760274994 https://picasaweb.google.com/105111722954289917325/MiscAlfa#5779155850657856258 Thanks, Stefano Concord, CA -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected]
