Your body molding clips are usually ground off when you repaint your VW. Or a few of them may just break with age or from an impact.
Our body molding clips (and the body molding trims) are replaced this way:
- First be sure the clip mounting holes in your body are free from body putty and paint clogging.
- Press the bulb end of the molding clip into the hole in the body.
- Now tap in the protruding shaft with a hammer or press in with a blunt tool. This will expand and lock the bulb end inside your metal panel.
- The clip is now locked in place horizontally to the the ground and is ready for the installation of body molding.
- To install body molding just lay the molding against the clips and snap the molding onto the clips and snap the molding onto the clips with your thumb or the heal of your hand.
