    Please restore my sanity!

    how in the name of the lord do I reattach the rear seat grab handles and the rear laundry/coat hooks!

    The little metal clips are in there, two for the grab handles and one for each hook, but I simply can’t figure out how to snap the handles & hooks back on the clips.

    someone please help me before I torch this whole thing in frustration.

    good news:

    I got the through-hole NMO antenna mount installed!

    Thanks but it just made me feel more stupid. It just says “engage the clips”.

    I just reinstalled my liner and they snapped in exactly as the video. I place the metal clip inside the handle first, then push the handle into the hole and you should hear a click. Then the plastic trim doubles as a wedge to keep the metal clip expanded so they can’t come loose.

    Wrench throwing and swearing definitely help the job flow along, LOL

    Hey guys, I got it. You helped me by explaining that the whole thing is loose until you get the covers in there.

    thanks again

    Does anyone know the part info for the metal clips the covers snap onto? My dingus brain somehow managed to get the clip lodged in the space between the trim and metal so now its gone
