Here we go again. Aftermarket molding clip doesn't work. Why sell this shit. See attached picture. The one on the right is original and the one on the left is after market.
Stud is to short. Can't get a washer and lock washer yet alone a nut on. Attached Image (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)

I feel your pain. So tired of people that sell stuff that is totally unfit for its intended purpose.

The split lock washer is completely unnecessary. Maybe if you just do nut and flat washer it will be long enough?

I agree but pet states lock washer and nut. Just saying. I try and build the way it was on every thing. I can barely get the nut on. Thats in a pretty tight space.
