Re: 63 comet cant open trunk
Not going to get into trunk on convertible, no big opening. Try a screwdriver in the lock hole to turn the “catch”

I want to change the color of my sun visors from Blue to Black to match my new interior.
Are the visors Vinyl, molded plastic or some other material?
Any suggestions on what paint/dye to use

Need help IDing 14" steering wheel
This 14 inch wheel came on my 63 Comet when I bought it 2 years ago. The half wrap is peeling and the 3 phillips head screws that hold it on the adapter have damaged heads. I want to buy a new half wrap and the 3 screw but don't know who made the wheel. The 3 screws have a thread I don't recognize. ...

Re: reattaching exterior moulding strips 63 Comet
Here are some pictures of a clip & cover/shield that I removed from the car. Don't know if these were stock or aftermarket. I don't see them listed for sale anywhere on the net.

Re: reattaching exterior moulding strips 63 Comet
I think I found my problem. There was a lot of dirt inside the moulding under the lips keeping the clip from snapping in. They seem to snap in a lot better after cleaning with a pick. Making the rubber backing out of old rim liner I found.

Re: reattaching exterior moulding strips 63 Comet
I think I found my problem. Using the old clips that were on the car. They had a rubber sleeve around them that was in bad shape when I removed them. Put them back without any sleeve or backing. When I squeezed the tabs to lock them in place it let the clips get too tight to the body & the moulding ...

reattaching exterior moulding strips 63 Comet
Starting to reattach the moulding to the fenders, doors, and body.
Can't get the moulding to snap over the clips in the square holes. I have tried candle wax on the clips but no help. If I do the clips on the bench they snap right in.
Any secrets to snapping them on

How to remove power antenna
1963 comet convertible
I have a power antenna that I want to remove.
Is there a panel/shield inside the right front fender well that can be removed to get antenna out. So much undercoating I can't see anything.
