1972 Highlander (Forum Truck)

That is a beautiful K5. The last time I installed trim I used the clips and holes. Does the trim sit flush or is there a gap from the plastic anchor piece? What brand was the trim?

Thank you! The last time I replaced body moldings was on my 1970 K10. I went with the metal clips on that one. This blazer had new door skins and bedsides so I would have had to drill holes. I’m not a fan of that as it introduces the possibility of corrosion down the line. Most newer vehicles use an adhesive tape like the 3m body side molding tape. I found if you play with the location you apply it on the clip and with the molding, it leaves a very small gap comparable to a new car molding. The cap is essentially the width of the 3m tape.
