New rocker mouldings Install?
Hey everyone, I just got my new rocker Mouldings (the car never had them) and I was wondering if anyone knew how they fit on? The clips went on okay, but then I couldn't get the mouldings to fit on them right, as the clips seem to be on the rocker panels really flush. Any ideas? No directions came with them.

Are you sure you don't have them on backwards? The top lip on the factory clips extend away from the body a good bit and so is not at all a tight fit. The screws on the bottom keep the molding from falling off the clips.

The top DOES extend away a bit, it's the bottom that is flush to the rocker panel. I am almost wondering if you have to put the clip on loosely, slip the moulding on onthe bottom, tighten it and then snap it over the top? Weird, I'll see today when I get out of work. Anyone else have any ideas?

Are you sure you have them on the right sides?

I searched around and this is the best picture I could find of an installed clip. The top extends away from the body and the bottom is pretty much flush. The rocker molding sits on top of the clips and is held in place by screws at the bottom of the molding that go up into the car body. The molding does not attach to the bottom of the clip. You will need to adjust the vertical position of the clips so that the molding can't ride over the top edge and come free.

Yes the screws on the ends help secure it. But you also have the brackets that "catch" the bottom of the trim and screw in under the car, right?

yes, they are supposed to screw in under the car. This reminds me that I still need to install mine...
