Trim Clips

[davidb01 at attbi.com]

Do _not_ clip off the plug!  The chrome trim clip p/n you want is 447 853 674
C; got a bag in front of me.  They become embrittled with time.  The "plug"
spoken of comes already inserted into the clip; there is no flash.  Once the
clip is inserted into the hole, you just push the "plug" home from the front
side.  I've _carefully_ and _gently_ used a screwdriver and a plastic mallet,
which overcomes the inherent 'stiction'; it requires no lubrication.  This
design is essentially a "push rivet".

HTH,

David Brill
