Front Fender Center Molding Assembly

Procedure

  1. Open the door on the side the front fender molding is being serviced from.
  2. Working from inside the hinge pillar area, insert a small 8 mm socket on a ratchet over the plastic retainer clips to release the pressure.
  3. Begin releasing the retainers at the bottom of the molding and work towards the top.
  4. When the first lower retainer clip is released, insert a small plastic flat-bladed tool between the exterior body panel and the molding assembly to prevent the retainer from re-engaging back into the fender panel hole.
  5. Disconnect the electrical harness connector from the lamp housing.
  6. Connect the electrical harness lamp socket to the lamp housing.
  7. Position the molding retainers to the fender holes.
  8. Using the palm portion of the hand, secure the retainers to the fender holes.
  9. An light audible click will be heard when each retainer is secure to the fender panel.
