A precision replacement retainer designed to secure rocker panel molding on 1962–1976 GM cars. This clip holds trim firmly in place to prevent rattling, misalignment, and damage from road vibration while providing a long-lasting, corrosion-resistant fastening solution for restoration or maintenance projects. Built for reliable fit and easy installation, it restores OEM-style appearance and function to worn or missing fasteners.
Features:
- Fits 1962–1976 GM cars (various Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Buick models — verify specific fitment before purchase).
- Heavy-duty metal construction with a corrosion-resistant finish for long service life.
- Secures rocker panel molding to prevent vibration, rattles and panel damage.
- Designed for OEM-style replacement during restoration or trim replacement projects.
- Simple push-in or snap-in installation for quick, reliable fastening.
Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 30 minutes (typical for one side; time varies by vehicle and number of clips)
Instructions:
- Park the vehicle on a level surface and wear safety glasses and gloves.
- Carefully remove the rocker molding by gently prying along the trim to release existing retainers; work slowly to avoid damaging the molding.
- Remove any broken or corroded retainers from the body holes or from the molding itself using pliers or by pushing them out from the backside.
- Clean the mounting holes and surrounding area with a wire brush or compressed air to remove rust, paint flake, and debris for a positive fit.
- Test-fit a new retainer into a mounting hole to confirm correct orientation and fit.
- Install the retainer by pushing or snapping it into the body hole until fully seated; use a rubber mallet or soft-faced hammer if gentle persuasion is needed.
- Align the molding so the retainer stems match the molding holes, then press the molding onto the retainers until each clip engages securely.
- Inspect all clips and the installed molding for proper alignment and retention; replace any additional retainers as necessary.
