Where did you get the clips? https://www.dennis-carpenter.com/tru...-retainer-meta

Those do not look like any thing I have seen used for race trac trim attachment. There for I can not make a good suggestion. Other than these below get turned and locked inside the trim. Then installed.

Yes got them from DC, Looks like they only go on the lower race track on the bed portion.

Ok so I found that those are used in the race trac trim for the L piece where the dent trim ties into the drop down "L" piece.


That work?

If you look at the picture I posted there are two pieces, the second piece is a rubber pad. I assume to keep pressure on the retainer.

Ok so best I can tell is it does go under the trim plate. Sorry I need to figure out how to get my phone camera to work on close ups.
