Top trim installation help
so I have finally gathered up all of the trim pieces to do the top middle trim on my 1975 F100, running into an issue with the front fender trim at the very top close to the side turn signal. How do you get to the other end to screw on the nut to attach it? I have little fingers and the access from the front turn signal it a metal hole that I can’t access well enough, hard to fit my fingers in the side turn signal hole as it’s too narrow and from underneath, I cannot really see and eve by feel, I can’t hold the nut properly to start spinning it. Any ideas regarding suggestions are appreciated.

Yea, I finally changed out the “hand tight” nut for a regulat nut and used a 1/4” extension to tighten the nut slowly but surely.
thanks for the recommendation, that sparked my thought process to figure it out.
