Interesting. That must be a difference between 21st and 22-23 series.

For anyone interested, 21st 4dr sedan has 7 sheet metal screws on front door and 3 on the back door holding a piece of ordinary metal to the floor. I wonder if a 2 door is similar or if the screws are a 4 door only thing. One side of the metal is shaped into a U shape and the SS is wrapped over that U side & held by a turned over edge. The rubber is mounted on a separate piece which is held by the clips and is flush against SS. After removing the first one, I found the clips on inside have to lift up first so the outer clips can slide inward and then up out of slots. SS stays in position so it makes it hard to get anything in to pry the inside of rubber up & get the plate started without putting pressure on the SS or the paint on the jambs.
