I have purchased the trim and clips. I need to know where to drill the holes for the clips. The size of drill. How far to space.
Thanks,

I am going to purchase the assembly manual given the detail involved. I appreciate the heads up on the bolt clip also.
Thanks again for the detailed and rapid response.

I could use those instructions. I just received my trim kit to go on my 55 Chevy, Series 2, Standard Cab (big back window), that included the clips but no instructions. I called the company and they referred me to this website. Thank you you in advance. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | welcome to the garage XTCY, I'll get'em to ya, hopefully b4 long ... you should tell that vendor that they'd be better serving their customers if they photocopied the assembly manual pages and included them with the kit Bill | | | | | Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 4 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 4 | Thank you Bill,
I will try to make sure I read my email subject blocks carefully so I don't delete your email.
