DESCRIPTION
The exterior moldings are secured to the body by
any one or a combination of the following attach-
ments (Fig. 17-1).
a. Attaching screws
b. Bolt and clip assemblies with attaching
nuts.
c. Integral studs with attaching nuts.
d. "Bath-tub" type snap-on clips.
e. "W-base" type snap-in clips.
f. Weld-on studs and clips.
g. Snap-in studs to pre-installed retainers,
h. Spring (self retained).
i. Snap-in type studs and clips (clip is an
integral part of the stud).
Before using the molding charts the following in-
formation will be helpful when installing or remov-
ing exterior moldings.
1. Screw locations - the exact location for each
screw is not shown or mentioned, but when
hidden, the general location is indicated by
naming the molding or other part which con-
ceals the screw and therefore must be re-
moved to gain access to the screw.
2. When a molding is overlapped the overlapping
molding is indicated in the "Engages with other
molding" column and must be removed first.
To use the molding charts, use the following
procedure:
1. Locate the illustration of the body. The illus-
trations are separated by car line and body
type.
2. Note the number of the molding to be removed.
3. Turn to the molding chart for that particular
car line and body type and locate the number
noted in step two (2).
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
When removing or installing any body exterior
molding certain precautions should be exercised.
1. Adjacent finishes should be protected with
masking tape to prevent damage to finish.
2. Proper tools and care should be employed to
guard against molding damage.
