Tailgate trim.....Please help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys,

I thought I would put my tailgate trim on this weekend, but I'm having a problem with the end clips (the ones with the castle nut). Maybe I'm just not getting it, but here goes. In the new clip kit I got, both end clips appear to be the same. The passenger side makes sense, but the driver side doesn't. It seems that there's no way to get the clip close enough to the end to make it line up when I try to put the passenger side on. Any pointers? It almost seems like the clips need to be different on each side. Thanks!
