Precision-molded fender top edge and hood extension trim for 1968–1972 Chevelle, El Camino, and Monte Carlo models. These reproduction moldings restore the factory silhouette at the fender-to-hood joint, sealing the gap, protecting paint edges from chips and corrosion, and completing a correct, showroom-quality appearance. Constructed from corrosion-resistant metal with a bright finish and engineered to match original profiles, they provide long-lasting durability, reliable fitment, and straightforward installation for restorations or replacement projects.

Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5

Instructions:
- Park on level ground, open the hood, and support it securely.
- Carefully remove the old molding: pry up trim clips or remove fasteners, using a trim tool to avoid damaging paint.
- Clean the mounting area thoroughly with degreaser; remove old adhesive, dirt, and rust to ensure a flat, dry surface.
- Test-fit the new molding along the fender top edge and hood extension to verify alignment and hole locations.
- If existing clip holes are worn, install replacement clips or slightly re-drill holes as needed to match the new molding's mounting points.
- Apply a small bead of RTV sealant to any gaps where moisture intrusion is a concern (optional).
- Secure the molding in place with the original or supplied fasteners, tightening evenly to maintain correct fit and gap alignment. Use masking tape to hold trim in position if necessary while fastening.
- Close the hood and check the gap and alignment; make minor adjustments if required before fully tightening.
- Wipe away any excess sealant and clean the trim and surrounding paint to finish.
