the nuts that hold the body side molding pieces on ? Or, an alternative method of attaching them ?
Thanks
The rear or the front moldings?They are totally different.Let me know.I have to pick my wife up Wednesday out of town where my favorite yard is and i can grab some....along with a small list for a few fellow members.
the guy before me used carpentry screws to put the molding back on, so now when it comes time im deleting the middle moldings between the front and back tires....
Vinnie, front and rear. Any chance you have pics ? I need to see how the front is supposed to look. The PO epoxied drywall screws to the backside of the ones I have.
The side molding between the front and rear wheels is stuck on with double sided tape.The front has metal nuts that one could get probably find at Lowe's,and the rear trim is held on with self cutting nuts that go over the plastic studs on the trim piece.I don't have any pics,but if you just look in the spare tire well in the trunk you can see what I'm talking about,and if you look under the hood down at the fender trim you can see the small etal nuts that hold it on.Metric threads for the front I believe.
If you can not find it anywhere you could try this: http://www.wesales.com/
Thanks V8Demon. Looks like a great place to get replacement fasteners.
Everything mentioned so far is correct. The problem is, most of the time it's not the fasteners that are missing in the rear, it's the plastic mounting studs themselves. They tend to twist off when you try to remove the "speed nuts" holding them on.
JBWeld some bolts to the trim piece then use standard nuts to hold it onto the car.
Yeah, that's how mine are. The outer sides look great though. Since they are being painted body color I was looking around for some way to just epoxy them right to the body. All the ones around here in the boneyards are pretty beat up or curled.
Might be a better idea ! Will JB Weld stick to the plastic ?
