Hmmmm
The plot thickens. The LMC plastic clips DO NOT STICK for crap... So, really don't want to drill holes all over the side of the bed and use earlier clips. This is old paint - not the shiniest - so that may be part of the problem. But it's a very smooth, polished surface that has been cleaned with degreaser, etc before sticking. They will "stick" but as soon as I try to attach the trim, it easily pops them off. Thoughts?

Also - NO way I can find to get behind the forward mounting screw hole to hold the nut. Any ideas? Only possible if the aux tank is removed?? Cripes. If it wasn't so frustrating, it'd be funny.
