what is this trim piece and how to put it back on?

[Roaming100]

This piece on my truck has come undone, just the front part. I don't want to just rip it off without knowing how to put it back on and I haven't really found anything specifically for this piece of trim (I don't really know what to call it). Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

The side molding is held on with these:

Amazon product ASIN B00L1NTEHK
You probably broke one of the clips. The top and bottom edges are stuck down with a very thin 2-sided body tape. I used this:

Amazon product ASIN B00JR4D7AA

From these illustrations it seems they push into place using some type of push rivet. Could be wrong though.

Check my answer above for the correct part. It doesn't push in, you put it in the hole and twist it.

Is this piece held on by only 3 clips (see below)? Mine is loose on the lower right side and according to the schematic it only calls out 3...leaving that bottom right without a connection to the body panel, weird...

The clips slide into slots on the centerline of the trim piece. The diagram only shows them like that for clarity. You will want the two-sided trim tape as well to adhere the top and bottom edges.

When you stick the trim tape on the back edges of the piece, don't pull off the plastic from the side facing the truck before sliding the molding onto the clips. Just stick one side of the tape to the molding, leave the other side covered. Leave a tag end of the plastic that coves the back side of the tape sticking out a couple inches. Put the clips in the holes, turn them 90 degrees so they grab. If I remember right, they are made to slide into the tabs on the molding one way, so make sure they are facing the right way.

Then slide the trim piece back on, making sure it engages all three clips. After it is in place, grab the tag end of the plastic on the tape, and pull the plastic away, exposing the adhesive to the door. This will adhere the two-sided body tape, and will keep the trim piece where it belongs.

Ok, awesome that helps allot. So I'll have to take the whole trim piece off get the trim tape and some new clips and then put it all back on. Easy day, thanks gatormark91.
