    I'm trying to reinstall the cladding on the right front door and can't seem to get the upper front clip to attach to body.
    Would the use of a heat gun or hair dry help, making the plastic more pliable?

    Lots with more in the works
    The cladding uses different size clips for the various holes. Sizes are determined by the color, either blue or orange. Make sure you have the correct sized clip for the hole. You can get replacements off Amazon if you have broken clips, they are inexpensive and come with way more than you need usually. Handy for when you have lots of broken clips.

    The upper clips on the forward end are the blue ones with 1 orange clip at lower front. Tried an orange clip on the top and is too large for the cladding.

    Thanks!
