chrome molding
I have only attached two and have dented both of them. I tired to compress the clips and then push on the molding. They seem to dent very easily. I have ordered another set as it will always bother me that they are dented. I have put on one door piece and one front quarter piece.

Max: getting the clips on the molding isn't the problem. The problem is getting the clips into the holes on the body of the car. Clips go on the molding easily.
thanks.

chrome molding
If I understand what you folks are saying, I put the clips on the car first and then slide on the chrome or does the chrome "snap" on over the clips like on the newer beetles???
