Yes, lost in translation....i believe he was asking about TOTAL stick on trim....there are stick on clips but as far as my research went there is NOT a 100% stick on clip kit for 69-72 trim. I seem to remember one though for 67-68. We tried using ONLY the stick on clips INSTEAD of the metal combined with stick on and was NOT pleased. It left too much of a gap. i was NOT interested in searching for and re drilling all the holes that have since been covered so we did months of R&D to figure the best ulterior method and products. Hopefully it hold up!.....better than that JUNK ACC carpet that IS in it. lol At least the trim is now reproduced so replacement is an option without a lot of trouble.
