RE: TRIM INSTALL

[Paul Lennemann <pjlenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

When I reinstalled my trim I put the clips in the trim and then put it 
on the car.  It really helps to have an extra set of hands on the long 
pieces to keep everything in place and to keep from scratching the fresh 
paint.  I don't recall to put anything under the trim to protect the 
paint.  You may find instances where you need to improvise a little.  
You just have to play it by ear.
