Thanks,

My trunk trim doesn't fit right...slides back and forth.

DB,
It may be that the tabs on the clips just need to be gently adjusted (bent upward) to prevent the slippage your experiencing.
The OE clips have that little Tab/Arm that keeps the molding snug.

OPG's will cost you an arm and most of a leg for that piece. Ames is best.
