    Ok this is probably a dumb question. I have removed all the stainless off my 53 Vicky.... But I do not know how or if the gutters are removable or if they are how do you remove them??? Please help a HAMBer out.

    Thanks Chris

    If you mean the rain gutter on the roof, then the answer is they are not usually removable. I have seen some that have been cut off, but that is the only way to remove them that I know.

    Are you talking about the actual gutters themselves, or the stainless trim/moldings? If the gutters, 54HotRod is correct (not removable).

    The stainless trim that goes over the actual gutter does come off. I used a couple of small screw drivers one is a medium size screw driver that I bent the end so you can pry with it. Then I start at one end and start prying the back side up a little bit all the way from one end to the other then start working it loose from the back side and it will come off with out damaging the side that faces out. It takes a while to get it off so take your time and you can get it off without damage. When you put it back on bend the back edge together a little bit and it will snap back on then you can tap it smooth on the back edge and it you will never know it was removed. I have done a few Fords from different years using this method. Just go slow and take your time and it will come off and still be reusable. Stainless is very forgiving and can be repaired if bent. Good luck.
