: the contact stated the moldings above the passenger rear side tire fell off. A new molding (part number 12453313) was ordered and arrived with only two screws and two clips which was all the vehicle called for, however there was nine slots. The contact expressed that this may be the reason why the molding fell off the first time. There should be more screws and clips to hold the molding into place.
