Installing the new nuts that retain the stainless steel strip over the door handles requires a few things. First, a nice calm day. Second to ensure it will be calm, a shot of Jack Daniels will help! Next get a ratchet, several long extensions, a flexible extension or two, a universal joint and a six point socket of the appropriate size. Put a small dab of body caulk into the end of socket, then push the special nut with the built in washer into the socket. Apply some body caulking into the washer area. Set the trim piece in place with the fasteners and sealant as required. Open the door. Lay on the floor. Put a snake light into the door. Have another shot of Jack. Now feed the long extensions into the door, and install the nuts. Make sure before you fully crank them down that the trim piece is exactly where you want it.
