    Trim and Emblem replacement questions?

    So i found, what i believe is a NOS cover from Ebay almost 10 years ago now. I bought the rivets suggested in this post. The screw is a good option i can tinker with. Would using the rivet, with maybe a piece of double sided tape on the bottom to hold it straight be a feasible option?

    Trim and Emblem replacement questions?

    So i found the broken lock cover, and disassembled it. i am not sure how they were able to get the rivet shot into the bottom mounting hole. Here is the rivet hole normally covered by the top cover. And i don't see a way to reinstall the spring on the cover once the bottom rivet is is shot...

    Trim and Emblem replacement questions?

    Trim and Emblem replacement questions?

    So it pry's off? is there a stud or clip that holds it tight to the body? Also yes on the paint for the trunk, i have a touch up direct bush to take care of that little issue.

    Trim and Emblem replacement questions?

    I have a couple of questions about replacing the wheel trim in this picture. After removing the screws i pointed out in this picture. Which way does the trim slide and do i need any special tooling? I also need to install the truck lock emblem. Is there a special rivet i need to get to use...

    MALIBU I’m about to purchase the best battery 🪫 in the world

    As far as batteries go, i am super interested in these. They are lighter, and i hear can be completely discharged with out damaging them. But they are expensive.
