Hi Guys,
I want to fix the broken opera lamp on my 87 5th Ave. I've seen the great detailed sticky thread, but it doesn't say how to separate the outside triangular vinyl panel on the rear door, behind which the opera lamp sits. Also it looks like the 88 (in the sticky) and 87 are different, as in the 87 triangle is a little shorter and actually has a hidden piece of glass inside.
I was able to get opera lamps out of a junkyard car, but not without mangling the mounting of the triangles. It seems they are riveted to the chrome strip that runs under the window along the entire door.
Thanks,
