Roof Molding installation

Hey everyone,

I just got my roof molding pieces in from onlinemazdaparts to fill the gap left over from the roof rack! Unfortunately I have no clue how to install it. I literally just popped it in and the rubber border acted like a suction cup and its not going anywhere. To fill the holes leftover from the roof rack I used nuts and sealer washers, so are the clips even needed? This is how it looks.




This is how it looks when the molds are installed.



Just a reminder that the molds are very sturdy in there and do not feel like they're going anywhere. If the bolts will suffice I will keep it that way, but if I need the clips I will obviously install the clips. Insight?

Yes u need clips like the ones u have there now to cover the holes and it clips on the molding so they don't flap up or down. Just did this to mine on Sunday.

This is the link and part# for the clips or also known as retainers. You need 10 but u already have two on the car now so all you need it 8. They are clips with double sided tape, just peel back plastic and stick over holes and that's it your done. Then just snap in the moldings.

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but I plugged the holes with some hardware and rubber washers because it looked like the clips go where the roof 'bumps' up a little. I should be fine, yeah?
