loving that floating water look on the car. looks like I can just dive into the fender and go for a swim.
laid out all the stainless trim and counted up the holes and looked at what clips I had taped to the trim. this is what I came up with as for what type of clips go where on constellation. hopefully it makes sense to you and maybe be helpful for someone in the future.
the clips that are puncturing anywhere into the interior of the car would need a rubber washer and nut or sealant. use common sense here. you don't water in your car.
I plan to go to a local clip/trim shop near me on Friday and see what he has, but I did have some from Max that came with the NOS lower constellation trim I got from JW many moons ago. the spring clips worked well to replace the old ones. didn't have an wire clips though. the two small ones came from JW too....but for the life of me I cant find where they would go. I need to look up the part number supplied and find out, unless someone just happens to know.
can anyone tell me if I'm missing something to hold that red clipper symbol that flips out. if I pull on it...it just pops right off and I have to rewind the spring and etc. it just seems like there should be something to hold it on so it doesn't just fall off from vibration or whatever.
