64 Comet Tail light chrome rings

Post by Mizon14 »

Hello all,
Was wondering if anyone has had any experience in removing the chrome tail light rings from the plastic tail light lenses?
I don’t want to break the lens and need to repair some dents in the chrome rings.

I am going to find out eventually, I have few spare taillights and one day when I get time I am going to try and remove a ring or two, I am assuming they are pressed on there some way.

See Ya,
Mike

Thanks for the response!
I did some inspection on the worst lens I had and decided to give it a try. It was cracked pretty bad and broken around the back up lens, I used a screw driver to pry it off gently but it still broke the remaining plastic. They are definitely pressed onto the lens and will need some magic to remove without breaking anything. There must be a safe way to do this.
Thanks again
Joe
