Trim Removal Help Needed

[jlsavard@xxxx]

Hello, All,

Once again a little thorn has inserted itself into my side, and I need some 
help.

As you may recall, I am having the body restored on my 1957 Chrysler Saratoga 
4dr. The body man is at a point where he needs to remove the chrome 
"potmetal" frame from around the license plate recess in the trunk lid. The 
pins that stick through the sheetmetal are at fastened by a kind of clip that 
neither one of us have ever seen. Since they are reached through holes 
punched through the inner shell of the trunklid, they are rather hard to 
reach, and before trying to experiment removing them, I thought I'd ask for 
any available help/advice.

Does anyone know how these things come off? Do they unscrew, or is it 
possible to relieve tension by squeezing them or something? Is there a 
special tool needed? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe Savard
