  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Ready to install some wipers I got from a Board member here and I love them. That aside, I need to determine how the trim them prior to install. Certainly, the convert well ss trim mounts in the last hole and accomidation are required. :D:Dby

    Thanks all,
    Mike

    Does the outer fender rubber just stop and the beginning of the ss? Or should I slot it for the trim tab? Certainly, I'm overthinking it, but you know.

    Cheers,
    Mike

    I have the same question at the moment. 1969 also.

    The end of the chrome piece on the fuzzie slides into the round slot on the end of the hockey stick. That is what keeps them aligned.

    Didn't you keep your old ones? I never throw out any of my old parts, even if they are junk, until the new parts are installed.

    Many many times I go back to that pile to use them as references.

    Here are 2 pics showing the molding installed on my wife's 70 Chevelle, and when it finally started looking good after all the rust was cut out of it.
    All pics of the same car, enjoy.

    Mike,
    No problem.

    "Duane what brand of moldings do you recommend and where to purchase ?"
    I have not bought any of these for over 20 years. Sorry but I am not the one to ask.
