Re: Reassembly help.

Cool thanks. So my next question has to do with ground effects. I have two issues. In the front of the rocker panels, do they just have screws thru the back of the fenders, and then on the rear when I took off groung effects, there were these disks attached to some tabs on body and just some nipples on the ground effects. How to they attach correctly there and how to discs come intt play. When I took off I think they were just attached at sill in door and not in rear

Two screws behind the rocker emblem.
4 screws on the door sill.
At the rear, plastic discs snap onto the pins on the qtr panel, sometimes the little plastic arm on the disc is broken off.They still work, just need to make sure they stay inplace during installation.There should be a metal bracket on the gfx attached by 2 screws.The bracket has U shaped slots.The discs go inbetween the U.

Re: Reassembly help.

So I am missing the braket that goes over the discs. Would you happen to know where I could get one. ??

I got no pics of the fender, but the sheet metal under the holes should have that clip the bolts thread into. Thats what id use & the hood hinge takes two i believe.
