Getting my top replaced this Wednesday, and I've got a couple pieces of trim that I'm wanting to get replaced as they are rusty/faded.

#1 The Metal Strap Across the front header seal. Can't find it anywhere. If someone has a part number for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. This thing has rusted beyond belief. Worst case scenario, I can sand it down and put on some Rustoleum.

#2 This part has faded pretty bad. I'm trying to find out how to remove it. I got the rear panel off, and took off the nut on the inside, but it seems to get stuck where the rear window is. Anyone know how to completely remove this?

Okay, gotta quote from Ford on the phone

$47 Rear

They couldn't find the part number for the metal strap on the header seal.

so I just replaced my entire top yesterday with frame and all.. To remove that molding around the back you must lower the top, take the back seats off, take off both plastic inside moldings (the big plastic part that is around the rear speaker and seatbelt) its one big piece and all it is is those plastic tree shape snaps (cant remember name) and the inside weatherstripping for the rear windows, (pulls right up). with the rear window weatherstripping gone, you can access 2 screws that are holding it in and there's also one in the rear where it bends (you need the top down to access it. and then open the trunk and there's about ten screws holding it in.. give it all a shimmy and it should pop right out
