<VV> Late rocker trim

[PETER INMAN]

This (below) is a post from Virtual Corvair Club, 08/05/05 page 53 and it’s all I could find that made any sense on how to install the rocker trim. I take it that it is stretched or spread over the lower round ridge of the retaining strap by pushing down from the top, forcing it over the bottom edge. Is there a learning curve to this procedure so that I won’t damage new paint or the trim piece?
  Thanks for any input you all might have.
