We have received many requests for installation instructions and a list of parts required to install lower side mouldings on Model 43, 46 and 46S jobs, not originally equipped with the mouldings.

Installation of these mouldings cannot be made in a hap-hazard manner. Very accurate retaining clip locations are required so that the mouldings will follow the 1950 Buick body contours, without gaping, and prevent a rust or checking condition between the mouldings and 1950 Buick body panels. The following installation procedure should be strictly adhered to:

  1. Remove door trim pads.
  2. Locate reference point ”A” on the front fender as shown in Figure 44.

    A flexible steel rule is used for measuring the 12 7/16″ dimension.

  3. Locate reference point “B” on the rear fender as shown in Figure 45.
