67 Dart GT Rocker Trim Clip Substitute

Well I'm a bit disappointed...

I made a rocker mockup and when I tried to expand the tabs to lock the clip on to it one of the tabs broke off.

The image on the online sellers website shows a chromate colored clip with the tabs standing in a natural position.

The clip I received hac some coating on it but looks more like shiny zinc.

And the tabs look flattened

Perhaps a little heat before standing the tabs up would ease the bend.


Still worth further investigation.

I tried to have the seller put me in touch with the manufacturer but that does not seem to be going any where.
