Does anyone happen to know….
When these plastic rings were created at the factory….
How did they get the white paint applied so accurately for the lettering?

I don’t think with the shallow depth of the lettering, would a simple paint & wipe off the excess work.
Just curious.

Thanks!

Hi all,

Along the lines of what Matt mentions, in case it helps, here are pictures from the plastic piece from our G:

There are three “nubs” that hold it in place; as Matt mentions, be patient removing and work your way a little at a time around the whole piece…

The Black plastic identifier ring is pressed in; by hand.
Have to be very, very slow & careful in gently removing that piece.
That plastic is now 64 years old & brittle.

I’ve not found a method in removing OR reinstalling them that makes me successful really.
May be wise to spray soapy water onto it to aid it in coming out.
Have to maybe use a very small flathead screwdriver; or better yet a wooden type of blade.
It has to be coerced (let’s use that word versus pried) ever so slowly & rocked out.

I can’t wait to hear if others have a better method.
I’ve cracked / broken more than one should!
I should look into reproducing these by the way!!

Once you remove that identifier….
There is an inner bezel that does unscrew (has notches on this ring) with the use of needle nose pliers to twist it out.
Once that ring is out….The toggle then can be separated from the chrome bezel.

I think the black plastic part unscrews from the bezel.

Anybody know how to take this apart (if possible) without damaging pieces?

1960 Chrysler 300F remote mirror control.
