What year Chevelle are you working on? I believe they were not used on 70-72's, possibly not even on 69's, might be 68's only.

Going off past posts I think its a 71 Chevelle, so you can just put them in your tool box for another car some day.

I don't think the chrome strips go on the seat bottoms either. Chevelles only got them on the seat backs.

I thought he (wadju2 - no name) was talking about those little caps on the chrome trim on the 66's and 67's. All I did was put a little dab of clear silicon and pushed them on. They are still on. Not sure if it's the correct way to do them, but it worked

Check it out. BOPs got the trim on back and bottoms, the lowly Chevelle only got them on the back. Maybe Malibus had both, don't know.
