How to install or remove "S" shaped molding fasteners?
I have posted this question before with not much reply so I'll try again. I am trying to install a new upper tailgate molding on my 72, and I don't quiet understand how the S shaped clips go inside the molding. I didn't see any reference to it in the Assembly manual. Any pics would be very helpful. Thanks!!

Do they look something like this?
The tabs on each side of the clip should slip under the lip on the moulding and the narrow part goes under the lip and acts like a spring to hold everything in place. There may be a slot in the lip to let you do this but if not, they should just snap in.

The long skinny tab has to swing back almost 180* in order to hold the clip in properly.
