Re: Cleaning ductwork

I had some nest in the heater duct, but they also like to live under the shroud on top of the finned cylinders.

Re: Bubble trim

I believe the brackets screw onto the car, and the chrome piece catches on the top of that piece....then you install the end screws to hold it on.

Are there no holes for the brackets? Possible your car is a 500 model or someone filled them in at one time?
