Please view the post in the Forum Support forum, it has a poll about making a dark mode (i.e. dark color screens instead of bright white) available. This can be of interest for those that access the forums from a mobile device as dark screens use less battery power. But we need to know whether enough people want this before investing the time to install an extra mode.

Does anyone have pictures / drawings on rocker molding clips for 49 Cadillac?

I have just restored a 49 CDV.  Assuming all 49's are the same as the CDV (I do not know this for sure) there are no clips.  There are sheet metal straps at the top that catch the top edge of the rocker molding.  The bottom is then held by screws up into the body.  For some reason the strap on the front fender portion is stainless and the body is steel.  The steel ones rust away.  The straps are a little more than 1 inch wide.  The ones on the body are screwed in and the ones on the fender are bolted.
