Some customers may comment that the lower chrome trim molding is loose or missing from the area in front of the outside mirror.
Correction
A new lower chrome trim molding kit has been released to correct this concern. The new lower chrome trim molding has four tabs for improved
retention. Replace both lower trim moldings if the trim pieces are missing. There may be vehicles that only have one side missing the lower
molding. For the side that still has the lower trim attached, remove the front fender inner panel access cover and check for the four metal tabs as
shown in the illustration below. If the lower trim molding only has two tabs, replace the molding with the new design.
Service Procedure
1. Remove the front fender inner panel access opening cover using a plastic body trim tool. Begin removing the cover from the upper corner
first, and then work down to the lower corners of the cover.
