Re: Side Molding Issue

They likely found out as I did, that the moulding was made to go on before the front of the truck was assembled. I was able to get the nuts on the fender right there, but it was not easy, and I was only able to get them hand tight.

Also check your moulding on the doors at the front -- there's a bolt there that is hidden behind the hinge on each side, and I could never find any way to get those on with the fender installed. Someday, I'll have to pull the fenders, and finish up the nuts in the door/fender interface area.

I'll be watching this thread to see if someone more clever than I has a secret method to accomplish this.
