ABSTRACT:
A body side sill molding attachment for a motor vehicle includes a main body portion, first flange and a second flange. The first flange upwardly extends and includes a plurality of ribs adapted to frictionally engage an inboard side of a downwardly extending flange of a motor vehicle sill. The second flange longitudinally extends along an upper edge of the main body portion and includes a plurality of apertures adapted to align with a corresponding plurality of slots provided in the motor vehicle sill. Each of the apertures and associated slots are adapted to align and receive a mechanical fastener for securing an upper edge of the body side sill molding attachment to the vehicle. A preferred method of attaching the body side sill molding attachment to the motor vehicle includes the general step of engaging the ribs of the first flange with the rear side of the downwardly extending sill flange, rotating the body side sill molding attachment about a longitudinally extending axis, abutting the second flange with the motor vehicle sill, and securing the second flange to the motor vehicle sill.
