Location: Newcastle Australia | I've purchased new clips for the side moulding from RJL Fasteners.
Now I'm scratching my head trying to work out how to fit them.
Is there a secret? |

Location: .Norfolk..Mafia.. ,England UK | The Original Clips push into the hole on body, and then you Nip the inner Lugs of the centre part of clip, This should then expand/spread the internal clip hooks to the internal part of the panel, Holding the moulding clip hard against the body panel.
Post a Pic of the New Clip if still unsure... |

Location: Newcastle Australia | The clip hooks are hidden in the sealant.
So by squeezing these tabs together will spread the clip hooks at the back?

Location: .Norfolk..Mafia.. ,England UK | Yes mate, the hooks will be hidden in the sealant,, And Yes they are the Tabs that need to be nipped together once the trim clip is connected to the panel,,
You will find the clips need a good push to go into the round holes on the rear quarters,
The Door(s) and front fender will have oblong holes so are easier to fit, This allows adjustment of the trim to keep in in line with the rear quarter trim,, |

Location: .Norfolk..Mafia.. ,England UK | I only ONE had Bolt type Clip of each front fender when i removed mine.. Which kinda made sense as it was very easy to reach even with the wheel on and Dodge on the floor |

Location: Newcastle Australia | Sounds like a good idea, just to make sure the moulding is super secure. The rear one is easy to get to but the one near the door would be difficult to get a nut on to. (4 door)
