Any tips on Replacing body side molding?
Any tips on Replacing body side molding?
My truck is coming back to me this weekend from the paintshop. My truck is '69 F250 Camper special, Ranger that seems to have every possible molding/trim piece.
During the past couple of weeks i spent my time polishing all of the trim pieces. The problem is my body guy removed them and now i have the task of replacing them. It probably would have been a good idea to see how they came off but i was not around. i ordered clips from LMC truck (i kind of overlooked this expense.). My question is on the riveted plastic clips.
Is there room for allignment error? What i mean is, when i rivet it on, can i still rotate it to the correct position?
Next question:
Tailgate trim, is there certain sequence to replacing all of the pieces?
Do both of the windshield/rear window chrome pieces have to be installed with the windows?
I see lots of posts on removing trim, but it would be nice to see a detailed replacement sequence on this process.
I would do it if i felt as though i knew what i was doing. (but i think i'll attempt it).
Thanks for any help in advance. Al
