    Go to holden and get plastic clips that hold the trim first


    Align the moulding to your boot...mark the holes and drill them out (same size as hole size in the chrome strip)

    should take under 10 min to do

    yeah your dead on, ive got the clips

    i just wasnt too keen on drilling into my boot.. was wondering if it would work with just double sided automotive tape??

    i doubt it will so im guessing... Drill time

    Thanks for the help mate!

    you could use some double sided tape and a few dots of silicone/sikaflex...it would do the job too

    No worries... Good luck

    This stuff is really tough. Once you stick it with this, forget about removing it !
