Hello again
first many thanks for answers I have gotten from the forum, hopefully I can pass on the knowledge to future owners
1) how do I remove the upolestered rear wheel covers?, I have removed the two large machine screws at the base but at a loss for what comes next (please see pictures)
2) also want to know how to remove dome light cover and trim as well
This is an original interior and don't want to just start pulling and poking as I fear damages
thanks again

While waiting for an actual reply, did you try lifting straight up? That's how they were in my 1940.

Dome light lens cover uses a bayonet-type retainer. Push up gently and rotate to release. I don't remember which direction to rotate, so be gentle and patient.

When you get to it, I'd be very interested to see what's involved in removing and replacing the rear quarter window, mine is cracked and thus far I've been reluctant to de-upholster the rear to replace the glass.

Looking at your pix, your car appears to be an 1100-703 - correct?

Yes model 1100 not sure what sub model, this is a Canadian car
I will post to the project blog, maybe I can help others after I figure this out
thanks again
