asked by: Gary
Expert Reply:
You have two options to install the Putco Stainless Steel Fender Trim, # P97290, on your 2008 GMC Sierra: a drill option and a no drill option.
For the no drill option you will want to place the trim against your fender and adjust it to the best fitting position (remove the mud guard and other attachments first if necessary). Start with the middle mounting slot, slide the flat end of the metal band, from the inside wall of the trim, through the mounting slot. (See Fig. 2). Hook the bent end of the band onto the fender of your vehicle. Pull hard then bend the flat end of the band over to secure the trim molding to the fender. (See Fig. 3.) Repeat for all mounting slots to secure fender trim in place.
For screw mounting (drilling required) start with the middle mounting hole, use the mounting hole as a template to drill a 7/64” hole through the edge of the fender. Apply a supplied sheet metal screw to the hole and tighten the screw until the fender trim is firmly in place. (Don’t over tighten the screw). Repeat for all mounting holes to secure fender trim in place.
