In Reply to: How are the rain gutters attached to the cab? posted by Willy-N on Friday, April 04, 2003 at 9:54AM :
I removed two today from a cab that I junked.
I started near the windshield & used a large screwdriver & a small ball peen hammer. Work the blade between the cab & gutter at the spot weld & give it a small tap. Then wiggle the gutter with your hand and the weld will break. If it is a stubborn weld then tap the inside up & the top edge down gently. The idea is to work the gutter up & down & it will usually break the spot weld from metal fatique in 3 or 4 taps. You do not have to move it much.
Once you get about 6 inches loose from the cab wiggle the gutter & tap & use the screw driver & it goes faster.
Should take about 10 minutes per side. If you start at the rear you will probably have trouble getting started.
