I ordered and recieved a wheel well moldiing kit from OPG. Ive never had any problems with any parts i have bought from them but the reproduction molding i bought this time just doesnt fit. Its terrible on the rear wheel wells. Ive bought it for my other car and it was fine. Should i just bend it and work it?? Its a new paint job so i dont want to be rubbing it all over the new paint.
Also, my "Malibu" "Chevelle" and "350" insignias wont fit back in the holes. I guess its due to the build up of paint. Should i use a drill bit and drill the paint out?

take masking tape and put it on your pants twice so its not that sticky then put it over the holes and drill the hole bigger. this will not chip the paint with the tape on. for the moldings try to do the same with the tape and then you can bend the trim and hold to the quarter then if more bending then the paint won't scratch. tape is cheap paint is not!!!!!

I start a couple screws and then tap the wheel well moldings with a rubber mallet to bend them to the shape of the fender. Move on down and add more screws and more tapping. It works pretty good on the cheezy repo stuff we get to work with these days.

ive gotten 2 to work so far. I still ned to attempt to do the rear now. I have new quarters so i need to still drill holes. Not fun

If you get to the point of not wanting to use these mouldings, Year One sells GM mouldings for the rear. No one has GM front mouldings. Just an FYI.

had the same problem with NOS moldings 20 years ago.

as others have said, start at one end and work your away around the wheel well bending and pushing as you go. use tape

this is one of those tasks where you need to trial fit before paint.
