Go to your gallery and look for a "?" Click on it and it will give you the link address. Highlight the address, right-click with your mouse and select copy. Then click on the url link maker in your new post (icon of a blue world with a chain link by it) and paste it into the box that pops up (right-click with your mouse and select paste).
The icon to the left of the world icon is for images. Click on this icon to insert a website address of an image.
Here is a screen cature of the icons:

Good question - I haven't looked at a SCAB up close - anyone able to verify if the B pillar trim is the same on the two trucks?
Hey HL... when you mention the 'beltline molding', do you specifically mean the molding that follows the top of the door or the molding that is running vertically that you can see 'dangling' in this picture:

Thanks man!

RP - I was referring to the moulding that runs along the doors between the side view mirrors and the door handles....the ones with the evil clip
Thanks... thought that was the case... just wanted a little bit of clarification. Thanks for being the guinea pig on this mod HL!
I'm ordering my parts tonight I believe.

Hey HOTLAP...
I'm ordering my parts tomorrow so that I can do this mod this coming weekend (which can't get here quick enough might I add). fordpartsnetwork.com
Can you give me a better feel on where I should expect to find the clips on both doors (moldings)? Thanks man.

RP - sorry I didn't see your post until now. I got my parts though a Ford dealer that supplies all of our OEM stuff for the mustang site....his name is Kevin (KC) and he can be reached at 800.570.5554 - tell him I sent you!
The clips for each trim piece are located near the top (top hole in pic) and the 2nd hole up from the bottom (using the above pic as a reference). The bottom hole is factory covered with clear tape - and is not used for the B pillar trim installation. They came pre-installed on the new trim piece and will center the new piece for you. To install just start with the rear "wraparound" edge of each trim piece, then locate and push in each clip - then press down the adhesive tape. Very easy and the clips fit exact/only one way. Don't even worrry about them on the old piece since you will be destroying it during removal anyway....they pop out easily - wish I could say the same about that adhesive tape Ford uses - that stuff was a bear to remove.....it actually won't come up during removal - I had to cut it with a boxcutter as I peeled back the trim piece. Be careful the front edges of the trim piece are sharp and I did find out the hard way :o
Good Luck and post when you are done -want to see what it looks like - what is your exterior color?
