Rocker trim panel clips

[BrettKoenecke]

I have the Dynacorn rocker panel trim with clips. The plastic clips are pretty straightforward but Im really unsure about how the metal clips are supposed to work. I'm sure it's obvious but I just can't seem to process in my mind what's going on there and how best to accomplish installing the panels using those clips. Anyone got any insight as to how that is intended to come together?

The four across the top go at the ends and the others are evenly spaced along the rocker between those. Which ones are you referring to as metal? The four across the top?

Yes those are metal...whats with the wire poking out from each of them?

THANK YOU

There was never any instructions anywhere that I saw, but the way I have done it is this. The nylon strings or wires are suppose to stick out from behind the piece as you loosely start the nut behind it. Then you use the wire to rotate the clip into the panel overlap, continuing tightening the nut, and before it is too tight you work the wire back and forth to snap it off at the clip (or just push it behind the panel for future use. The other clips are snap-on type arrangements after they are securely riveted or screwed on.
