It slips on , looks like it might damage the paint if done correctly

The chrome edge has a gripping effect and I think the top is slick to,not dig into the paint, but the bottom edge has to,have some sort of teeth or something to,hold the strip on.  Mine has been on since 07, and have not seen any problem with paint.  It's just not made to be put on and off  Just make sure it goes on right the first time. Same as the short strips for the fender ends.

No sign of attaching hardware when removed from my car, late 2006.  By all signs it appeared as if they had remained in place from new.

Installing the starter but it wont go all the way end. I had a starter i bought off cc.com so went to a box store and got another one and same thing. Looks like it has a metal insert in the trans housing. Should I try and get it out. This is the 727 that came in my car. What the heck is this? Part of the old starter?

I will measure today but they are the same size. Since I have owned the car I have not had a starter installed.

Mystery solved. Looks like someone put this insert for some reason. Put a screwdriver inside and it came out no problem. Who knows lol Now the starter goes in no problem

looks like the cap from a dipstick  wonder if it got magnetized & randomly stuck to the starter shaft at the nose-cone  somewhere along the line?

This car has been in pieces for the last 20 some years so it is no telling
