Lower door trim replacement woes...

[ILoveMPower]

I just CANNOT get the ****ing thing to sit flush. When I purchased the piece (driver door) from bavauto, they said I needed clips and grommets, but I'm not seeing any place for these to go... I'm assuming they're for some other trim.

If anyone has a pic of how this thing is supposed to slide on there and stay, please let me know... I've been staring at the passenger side for almost an hour trying to figure out why the driver will not sit flush.

And I thought this would be a quick and easy fix

when i did mine not too long ago, i started from the top with the window fully open, you sort of push down and sqeeze at the same time and the top part should go in, the bottom half should follow, but don't forget the clips move around in the cards a bit so make sure they're lined up with the holes in the doors before you tap them in with your hand otherwise you'll end up with a load of busted clips, hope this helps

Eh, I'm refering to the lower door trim on the exterior of the car/bottom of the door.

you have to press it on there. duh...lol

I started by trying to make sure it was centered, then forced the rear part up onto the seam/lip deal and pounded the damn thing on all the way to the front. had to go and pound it some more...and more and it finally is on there. talk about an interferance fit huh? my hand was pretty beat up after.
