Hi all, I just recieved a after market r/r wheel opening molding I got from ebay. The screw hoels in it are 1/2" from 10:00 to 2:00 and the rest are sheet metal screw size. I was currious to know if the holes in them for the mounting screws are normal or someone punched them out larger.
That's normal - from 10 to 2, the molding is attached by the fender-to-inner fender bolts.
i think he is talking about the right rear. maybe they sent him a front.
It's a right rear. The shape is close to the shape of the 1/4 but the fit is just awful!
Oops! Didn't catch the "r/r" in the original post. ::)
I've been playing with the molding. I think I can make it work but, WOW, what a piece of junk. I'm glad I paid 9.99 for it. So far I've had to trim it narrower as it was almost 1 3/4 wide on the mounting surface. It's soft so I think I can bend it a little at a time to make it fit the contor of the 1/4. I wish I could afford some nos moldings. Saw a set on eBay for 500.00 and still going!!!
I agree. What absolute crap. I'm just going without the moldings. >:(
I thought about going that way only I have the left side oniginals on the car. I guess I'll keep trying.
I have a right rear GM driver condition if you are interested.
