Default quarter trim installation

Hello gang. I have just a 68 t top car that is somewhat apart. My question is about assembling the quarter trim panels. I have bought the special screws and the quarter trim moldings, I am having trouble understanding how they go together, right at the goor jamb. any pictures or instructions printed out would ne helpful. Thanks

Your Assembly Manual and/or your Paragon catalog will show you how.

The retainers go on the outside of the door jamb's web and the screws go in from the outside, through the retainer and into the threaded insert in the trim panel. The retainer is 2 pieces. The short/top piece goes first with the longer piece overlapping the shorter on on installation. Difficult for me to communicate in words - the drawings I mention make it very easy to understand.

Hope this helps...

You have to pinch the lip of the quarter jamb area between the retainers and the quarter trim panel
