Instructions:
- Park the vehicle on a level surface and work in a well-lit area. Protect painted surfaces with masking tape as needed.
- Carefully remove the rear window molding or loosen it enough to access the old clips. Use a plastic trim tool to avoid scratching the trim.
- Remove any remaining old clips by prying or pulling them from the channel with needle-nose pliers. Clean the clip channel and mating surfaces with isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt and adhesive residue.
- Compare new clips to the originals to confirm orientation. Position the new clips into the channel at the same spacing as the originals or according to the molding's fit points.
- Press each clip firmly into place until it snaps or seats fully. Ensure the clip tangs or retention features engage the channel and are flush with the mounting lip.
- Reinstall the molding by aligning it with the clips and pressing the molding onto each clip until secure. If applicable, reinstall any screws or retainers removed earlier.
- Inspect the full perimeter for even fit and proper alignment. Operate and check for wind noise or movement; re-seat any clips if necessary.
