    How/where does the driprail attach to the rear fender?

    To the inside, outside, bottom?

    How do you secure it, rivets, spot weld?

    Thanks,
    Rich

    I'd punch holes in it with a pneumatic punch and weld it on. What about panel adhesive? Less to clean up.

    Hmmmm, maybe.

    The location kinda baffles me, how high on the fender lip to install.

    Anybody got pics?

    With the car empty you could put the deck lid on and latch it, put the weathrstrip in the channel, lay on the floor and shove it into place (making sure the seal is squished well) and mark it?
