I know this is going to sound strange and if I had permission to post a picture to show you it would make much more sense but here goes:
I am installing a set of 08 GT sides skirts (as well as front and rear bumpers)on a 76 Mustang II (you need to see it to appreciate it) and I need to know how you get at the plastic serrated pins that hold them on. I have the holes drilled in the rocker panels and the pins partially installed. I have the skirts pushed down onto the pins via the slot in the skirt mount. But now I don't know how to get at the head of the pin to push it all the way in tight to take up the slight gap between the skirt and the body. I know that the mounting is different on the 08 than what I am doing but don't you still have to get at them somehow to get them tight them on the new body style too?
thanks,
John
