Car moulding repair May 14, 2012, 09:58:48 PM The moulding is coming off on the rear driver side panel. It appears to be held down by some pins (I'm sure you all know)...anyways, how do I put this back on? New clip things? Quote Selected

Thanks, I know when my molding pieces broke, the stud that broke off has a small hole in the center of it. I figured why can't I screw them back on. Quote Selected

Car moulding repair Reply #9 – July 28, 2012, 03:20:48 AM well...none of that stuff works. one of the mountings sticks through the wall so its sort of mound-like..maybe if i shaved off part of it and got some weird screw then i could get it flush to the wall..but on another spot it broke off at theres not even a space for me to screw in or anything of the like Quote Selected

Car moulding repair Reply #11 – July 28, 2012, 03:08:18 PM I removed the chrome strip...drilled a couple holes where I countersunk the head of a bolt, drilled new holes and bolted the moulding on from inside.... then put new chrome stripping back on.... did the same to the front cornering lamp mouldings too.
