What is the best way to remove the drip rail stainless, and to reinstall it correctly.

Drop Top

It installs from the top and clips onto the bottom. So to remove it, it needs to go from the bottom to the top. Get a few paint sticks and a wide flat head screwdriver. Place the paintsticks at the underside of the molding were it clips over the drip rail. Now place the screwdriver in between the paintsticks and the molding and twist the driver intell the molding moves out. Then just move down the molding a little at a time and keep doing this entill in comes completely off. Make sure you start at one end and work your way down the other direction.

To reinstall it. The best way that I have found is with a small rubber hammer. Put it on the top of the drip rail and lightly tap it back into place with a small soft rubber hammer. If you don't have one of those. Then use a small hammer and a couple of paint sticks taped together inbetween the hammer and the stainless. Again, work from one end to the other. Just tap it on the bottom end of the stainless to work it over the edge of the rail.

Old fashioned church-key works great. Tape the big end so it doesn't scratch. Start at one end and go slow. Rubber hammer to re-install. :yesnod:
