That is the correct way Mike. The piece I got off of another car
almost made it seem that there were preexisting holes in the strip,
but the new strip I have is without holes. The screws or rivits were
about 4 inches apart on one car, and a hair more on mine. I will
check both strips to see how far apart the holes are. As for the rear
strip, can you post a pic of that? Does Hank carry it?
