Best to replace the emblem. NOS or good used C body emblems are not that difficult to find. Otherwise, Seal-all or JB weld the emblem in place.

There are satin clears and glossy clear Mike. You want to use the glossy

I've stripped and polished anodized trim and had it clear, glossy powder coated. Looks great, lasts forever. The trim needs to be void of any polish/residue before powder coat to avoid out gassing.

A clouded plastic window can be polished with a good quality plastic polishing compound or jewelers rouge.

Chrysler switched to glass rear windows in all the convertible models in 1967. Listen to the warnings mentioned above.

Great results on that beautiful Plymouth! You'll get some raised eyebrows when you tell folks it the original paint.

Having three arms helps. A large pry bar and a lot of patients. I'm not aware of a correct procedure, might check the manual. I spent a couple of days getting it right on my 67 Polara.

That car is beautiful !!!!!!

Perhaps closed or limited hours due to covid, like a lot of shops these days.

I have installed four tops. (Not the old music group). A Sunbeam Tiger, a Karmain Giha, a mustang and a 69 Chrysler 300. The Chrysler was by far the most challenging. I won't be doing that again. Flat rate says 7 hours for a C body. Multiply your trim shop hourly rate by that..... it's worth it...

Toilet plunger...... Will make it a lot less noticeable.

I agree Chris. But to all the doubters, I still contend that a good Comet counter cleanser scrubbing and follow up dawn wash will give the same results with a lot less effort. Find a well oxidized, enamel painted panel and try it....:soapbox:

This was a seriously oxidized original paint surface. A wash with dawn, then a scrubbing with comet counter cleaner, another wash with dawn, then 3M chemical compound and 3" buffer pads on a arbor and a battery variable speed drill motor, then a carnuba wax such as J-wax or mothers. This...
