I like the headlights where did you get them?

So wait when you order the door uphostrey it comes fully complete, I thought that they would only send you the vinyl and you had to put it on your won door cards.
Don't use metal ones. Hit the local paint supply spot and get some plastic ones, makes later on removal more doable
Will,
I almost always have a supply of the correct metal clips in stock as they fit 544 and 1800 as well.
Chris,
Do you have a picture or a part number for a plastic clip?
I would prefer plastic, but I can't remember seeing anything that would work.
I'll have to dig through my stash. The clips I found looked like the originals except they require a slight keyhole of the holes in the panel. On the other end they looked like a brush, lots of little fingers and a very large washer that sat against the keyholed panel. I believe tgey were aftermarket for a dodge pickup and if you positioned the keyhole correctly you can install the clips then slip the panel on and off with the correct amount of force.
Warkinton- get yourself some fiberglass resin or epoxy of some sort and nicely coat those panels so they won't rot
Found the pn a16261. It was a gm part. If I remember correctly, the keyhole allowed the clip to be forced into place, then after installing the panel it could be removed by pushing up and lifting, and reinstalling it was not easy but doable.
Ive already filled those spots with some filler, they were shallow enough that I didn't need to use a dent puller. Im using Evercoat. Evercoat Z or something like that.
Thanks for the part number! I looked them up. Does it twist into the panel?
I was thinking the backside of the door cards. Coat them with a good marine epoxy or plain ol fiberglass resin. It will add some structural rigidity and also water proofing to the panels. If using original clips, install clips first. If using plastic ones, test fit the clips to the panel first.
