It's getting clearer now. It's just that I have a hard time with my 5 thumbs on each hand. I just don't want to pay probably $100 to have a $25 part put on. So one final question if you don't mind. So does the new belt molding come with the "chrome" trim strip attached? Also, does the 5 clips just grab the door skin or is there some sort of a "female" clip on the inside of the door that they have to be mated with.? Thanks for all the help.
