Default Side panel install help
What would be the best way to get those lower side door panels back into place. I have resprayed them, but when taking them off the clips all broke because of age and now I'm stuck. Anyone placed them on using another method? Gluing them on could work, with some type of filler.

I broke a few minor things here and there in the car, simply siliconed them back on...

And they are still holding up after extended periods of time... lol

Why not spring for some "new" clips to hold the lower cladding back on?
