Could anyone give me some idea of how this part is installed on the car?
Was cleaning the car and noticed it was extremely loose Thankfully I found it before it went flying off on the road... It looks like it was connect by two metal clips and some silicone, but I'm not sure if that is how its supposed to be installed.

Thanks!
The lip on the underside of the trim just slides on to those metal clips that you see on the fender. Sometimes it can be a little tricky to keep the clips from falling off of the fender when you try to slide it on but it is doable . Good Luck
Hi G,
The clips have a top and bottom.
The bottom of the clip is the part with the small 'prong' stamped into it.
Originally the fiberglass has 2 small holes drilled into it. Both clips are near the outer end of the trim piece because the small screw holds it's inner end securely.
The clips slipped onto the fiberglass from the back (near the windshield) and the 'prong' settled into the hole to hold the clip in place while the trim was slid into place. (The 'prong' prevented the trim from pushing the clip off the fiberglass).
Pictures… some ugly!
Regards,

The AIM shows where to drill the holes for the clips.
UPC1 ASM, Sheet F8
Bottom side with 'prong'.
Top side, note 2 'cut's to grab the trim piece and hold it.
Position of holes for the clips as shown in the AIM.
