The 1958 Buick exterior moldings are secured by any one or a combination of clips, screws, bolt and clip assemblies and joint plates. Before removing any molding which has to be pried from the body, apply a strip of masking tape to the painted surface adjacent to the molding to prevent possible damage to the paint finish. If any sealed components are removed to gain access to molding attachment areas, make certain the components are properly sealed when reinstalled. Prior to installing any molding, apply medium-bodied sealer or body caulking compound around the attaching holes. Locations of 1958 Buick exterior moldings are shown in Figures 13-160 through 13-167.
