Mark,The letters on the trunk lid of my 64 were just held in by friction. I believe that I used a screw driver to remove mine. Though a putty knife is probably a better idea.
As for the mirror, I haven't removed mine all the way, but it looks like they will need to be disconnected inside the car and then pull the cable out.
I have pictures of some of this (along with removing most of the rest of the trim).

I want to remove the Imperial letters from the rear decklid for rechroming. I would like to do the same for the driver's mirror. The eagle emblem on the hood looks straightforward tp remove.Some have suggested using a putty knife to remove the letters. Do you agree? I don't want to damage them trying to pop them off. As for the mirror, do I need to disconnect it from the remote lever on the dash or can I simply remove the cable(?) from the mirror itself. It appears that the mirror would be removed by removing two screws connecting it to the fender. An lastly, I need to remove the mirror itself from the assembly. Is that simple to d?. I am not adept at this kind of stuff.Thanks Mark Boehme
