Please click on link and help me figure out how to install these trim piece clips for the top of doors and fenders!
Thanks.
No, the trim snaps on after the clips are all installed.can you install all clips on trim and set clips on holes then push down? look here service book . Service Manuals – MyMopar
I agree with RemCharger.Thanks for this. Do I slide the trim piece on? Or do I snap them all on at a time from the top?
They are like 66-7 Charger. Charger door has stud on each end that has to be unbolted. If they are original, you should be able to start lifting at either end gently. You come off. Sometimes I might help persuade it with a synthetic trim removal tool. I cushion it against the painted surface with something thin like a bicycle tube. You might have a stud at the back of the front fender, maybe near the front, then should lift off.What's the trick to safely get them off without messing up the paint. I want to pull my Sat trim for ding repair and polish.
What about the end connectors that are the bolt design? They are put on the trim prior to attachment. Yes?No, the trim snaps on after the clips are all installed.
Yes. They usually stay in there unless someone purposely removed them.What about the end connectors that are the bolt design? They are put on the trim prior to attachment. Yes?

Thank you very much sir!It's simple. Just insert the plastic nibs into the hole. Then take the solid round barrel place in hole then using a tiny but firm hammer, I used a Nylon head hammer and place the back of two fingers on each side of clips.I used fingers holding the round piece to drive the barrel into the hole. It takes a little persuasion but be firm and gentle not to hit the paint that's why I turn my fingers toward me. Once you get the Round pieces driven in the holes the moulding will snap onto the clips! Carefully, so maybe use layers of paint tape, so if the moulding slips or tapping on plastic Barrels. Otherwise your paint job will suffer as well your patience! Mine came out fine this is the third time, I have removed and reinstalled the mouldings. It might sound complicated however I found using fingers as a back board, if you will? It prevents over striking. It takes three strikes to drive that Barrel Plastic pieces into the hole of the clip. When I snap on the moulding, I kinda rolled it from one side to the other then used my hand to gently smack it on! Also you have a Butterfly type clip that uses a nut two one on front and rear of each moulding. The mouldings Snap on as strange as that sounds. Be careful!
