[TR] Installing front fender trim moldings on my TR4A

[Cliff Hansen]

Dave,

I did these about a year ago, no problems.  The rivets have a little cup 
that faces out from the fender once installed.  The rivets themselves 
install with a pop rivet tool like a normal pop rivet.  The trim then snaps 
over the little cups - I had to push harder on the trim than I expected but 
was rewarded with a satisfying snap as it fit over the cup.  You may want to 
have a second pair of hands to keep the loose end of the trim from 
scratching the fender until you have the trim over the first few cups.

Cliff

Subject: [TR] Installing front fender trim moldings on my TR4A

So I ordered some "rivet clips" MOSS PN 326-125 to install the aluminum trim
on the front fenders of my TR4A and I was just wondering if anybody out 
there
has used these? It is a sort of "pop rivet" type fastner that is used to 
snap
on the aluminum trim. I slid one in one of the holes in the fender and it
doesn't look to me like there would be much of the clip exposed to actually
hold the trim. I hate to put one of these in my nicely painted fender only 
to
discover I did it wrong!
So, if anybody has done this, I would appriciate any hints.
Thanks,
Dave Connitt
