Installing the rocker trim mouldings- '69 LeMans

Featured Replies

So I did some research on the subject and think I know exactly what has to be done; I just need some confirmation about that. I found diagrams on other forums that showed placement and had explanation; the first one here appears to show the placement of all four clips, at each blue line point.

Then there were these long clips, this image shows placement on the trim but I can't tell where exactly on the car they go. There are only four; two for each side, and so I would assume one clip goes on the rocker under the front fender, where the 350 badge is, and the other, on the rocker under the rear quarter;

And then the small clips themselves; according to one forum, this image below shows the front of the clip, the way it faces into the trim, and that the hole is the top. They stated that on the other side of the clip, that the tab near the lower end usually gets inserted into a hole, and helps keep the clip straight when screwing it on. However since those holes are obviously not present, and drilling more than is needed would be not a good idea, they said you can bend those tabs in and put two-sided tape instead, so you only need to drill for the main screw holes.

Hoping that what I have said and shown makes sense; I would imagine the four small clips go on first, and then the two long ones.
