Flight sweep trim ring

["Henry Hopkins" <hhrp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try pushing on the pointy things sticking through the ring into the
underside of the trunk lid.  As I recall, they are sealed with some rubbery
stuff, sort of a caulk.  There is more than one screw holding the ring in
place.  Have to get a nut driver to stick up through the larger holes in the
underside to get at them.  At least that's the way my 61 was.
