Re: How do you attach upper trim?

Here you go
These are the clips and stickers
From left to right
Lmc clip
Classic or maybe brothers clip
Lmc adhesive
Broken original clip

I never use the adehesive
It doesn't stick good and it holds the trim to far from body

Originally
Long beds had 4clips.
2 front 2 rear and 10 or 12 stickers

Short beds had 1 clip front and back and 8 stickers

Anytime I'm putting upper trim on
I string line between front and back hole
And drill 6 to 8 more holes matching original size
Equidistant between originals
And use ALL clips(just order more)
This guarantee's your trim will stay on
Even on original trucks where the stickers have failed
Usually the clips are still holding strong

Red truck is shortbed,first pic still shows broken original clip in hole
Ochre truck is longbed
