Here goes, I'm typing this from a 98 service manual.

Using a flexible tape measure, locate and mark with masking tape the mounting position of the moulding.

. The distance from the forward upper edge of the fender down to the top of the moulding is 335 mm (13.2")

. The distance from the bottom of the door handle key hole opening down to the top of the moulding is 195 mm (7.8")

. The front edge of the moulding is positioned 5 mm (0.2") rearward of the front edge of the door.

On the front fender: Position the moulding forward of the rear edge of the fender 3 mm (0.1") and in line with the door moulding.

Hope this helps you out and good luck!!
