RE: TRIM INSTALL

[Douglas Sutherland <pluckedchickens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I reinstalled my trim I put the clips in the trim and then put it on the car.  
I aligned the clips on the ends and pushed those in first -- that holds the piece in place.
Then I slid the remaining clips into position as I worked my way to the middle of the piece.  Once they were all aligned I popped them into their respective holes.  Easy!
I chose to not have my trim re-anodized so I waxed the back of the trim and the body before installing.
