'74 storage compartment bezel mounting
I'm replacing the frame and bezels on my storage compartment (3 door)
A question before I order: on my original it appears that the bezels are attached to the doors by a molded pin that is melted or somehow mashed over (rivet-like) to hold the bezel to the door. My question is are the replacement bezels held on with screws? Do I simply drill holes (counter sunk?) in the frame and use screws to attach bezels? Ecklers doesn't say and they don't list a screw set available for attaching bezels.

Yeah, the new bezels are held on with screws. Don't remember the size screw but I went to my local Home Depot and bought the smallest size phillips they had, and then I cut the ends off of them off to make em shorter yet. About 1/4" long. Just drill pilot holes. The new bezels fit nice and tight.
Pretty much just destroy the old bezels getting them off. Then take a sharp chizel or razer knife and clean up where those "molded pins" were.
