Be patient. Space heater to warm the whole thing up? (Here, this time of year, we wouldn't be having that problem...) I wouldn't use pliers. I'd try prying the end of the filler hose away from the tank (or the tank away from the filler hose - which ever way you want to look at it.) with one or two long prying tools (whatever works to catch the edge of the hose without harm - thin or wide) Long screwdrivers? Flat pry bar? Regular pry bar? Non-metallic pry tool? But you do need to somehow break the "bond" that the rubber has made with the steel inlet tube. Then treat the filler hose with Meguiar's Hyper Dressing...

Ha! That links back to a post I did almost 7 years ago about using pop rivets to secure the sqeegee rubber to the belt molding, similar to how I did the replacment fuzzy strips to the door panel. @Patcon Charles, If you need some info I can pull off a molding and get some pics of the pop rivets.

Here's what I came up with. Sorry to be late Charles. https://www.google.com/search?q=chrome+door+trim+window+sweeps+classiczcars.com&sca_esv=4aa233782b511ba8&rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS1121US1121&ei=sHp2aOugI72TwbkPlr_I2Qg&ved=0ahUKEwjruOPMnb-OAxW9STABHZYfMosQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=chrome+door+trim+window+sweeps+classiczcars.com&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiL2Nocm9tZSBkb29yIHRyaW0gd2luZG93IHN3ZWVwcyBjbGFzc2ljemNhcnMuY29tMggQABiABBiiBDIIEAAYgAQYogQyCBAAGIAEGKIEMggQABiiBBiJBTIIEAAYgAQYogRIpV9Q5QZYnztwAXgAkAEAmAGBAqABwhKqAQYwLjE3LjG4AQPIAQD4AQGYAhKgAqgSwgIOEAAYgAQYsAMYhgMYigXCAggQABiwAxjvBcICCxAAGIAEGLADGKIEwgILEAAYsAMYogQYiQXCAgUQABjvBcICChAhGKABGMMEGArCAgQQIRgKmAMAiAYBkAYJkgcGMS4xNi4xoAeNT7IHBjAuMTYuMbgHoxLCBwYwLjQuMTTIBzo&sclient=gws-wiz-serp

No biggie, just funning. There are some maybe's. I have a bunch of switches, just not marked as to what they are from. I rely on the visual differences. Graphics, plugs, wires, etc. They did change the switch plugs over the years too. I purchased the headlight and the parking/taillight harness from Dave Irwin long ago and have not had a problem since. I have H4 headlight bulbs and bright tail/ side lights. I did open and clean all my switches myself as well. Made all the difference. Still working well.

I don't think I have ever quoted myself in a reply 😂 New territory!!

Not saying the internal did not change along the way. Part number changes could just be partly related to the graphics on the switch as well. They never sold the internals as separate items that I have heard of.

Charles, here are some pics of the belt molding and squeegee rubber on my car. Hope this helps with your question and yes, the rubber does trim out inside the window frame.
