SIDE TRIM QUESTION

[TRIPLE-GREEN]

Hello,
   I just found a wonderful set of original side trim for my challenger. Supplied by "HOUND DAWGER" I wanted to let everone know that he was a great seller to deal with.
 
 BACK TO MY POINT FOR THIS POST: I was about to order part number #167 from R/T Spec. to attach this trim and I was wondering if anyone had used this kit and how hard it is to use. (SEE IMAGE BELOW)

Back story: Some years back the car was repainted. The people that did it stole or tossed the original trim and replaced it with a very close glue on style.  They didn't fill the holes on the car just stuck this stuff over it. My real question here is does this kit from R/T come with the fasteners that stick out of the holes on the car? Right now I only have holes where the old trim use to attach. There is nothing for the clips to clip into.

Looks like the kit only include the end bolts, not yhe studs. The studs are welded on. There is a rivet available from Auveco PN: 20987. I have no idea where to get them though.

I've seen some screw-in type studs that were apparently manufactured for dealer installs of side trim and vinyl top trim. The ones I saw were on fleebay years ago. Phillips head screws with a very small diameter and thin head would possibly work too. The ones that hold the side glass rubber (cat's whiskers) on the doors are a good example.

 I purchased this kit from R/t and it includes small locking pins which you push thru the holes to expand and lock into place.No need for welded studs- after I went out & bought one. Works great!

Keep trying, R/T Specialties is pretty much a one man show from what I have seen but he will do right by you and his kits are impressive. Once you realize he does not have a support staff its easier to be patient with him. Leave a message and I bet he will return it or just keep trying to reach him.

You will have to call him at R/T. I'm still waiting for an e-mail reply from 3 years ago!

I understand that. I run a little vintage decal business and it is just me, but people think I am some massive warehouse. With 25 on staff.  Sorry bro, I am pushing out over 30 orders a week. Something I mess up and don't get back ASAP!! 

But thanks for letting me know. I will keep that in mind when talking to him.
