Some Days It's Just Not A Good Day To Work On The Truck

I knew I should'a stayed home today. Just felt it.

Last week, I got the rear trim on. I had a little problem with the upper center trim...right over the tail gate "opener". So, as I wrote before, I improvised. I wasn't really happy with it. But, the main thing was I wasn't
real sure about trim back there anyway. So, I devised a way to use 3M trim tape instead of drilling holes for clips. That worked out really well...Maybe TOO well as it happens. Since it took me an hour to peel it all off today.

I wanted to get the center upper trim right. So, I visited our friends at ECE and they found an OEM piece in their stash. They gave me the little clips that you shove into holes...Aieeee! HOLES!!!!
Didn't want to drill holes. But I did.

Long story short.....I went caveman when I couldn't get it right. So, you see what's left now. That ball of stuff is $30 worth of 3M tape. I now have holes up by the handle and no trim.

Should'a stayed home.

The first shot's the one I started with this morning.
