How to install Left side quarter garnish for a 2016 Nissan Maxima

[@JosiahBranch-v9m]

What site did you order from

[@heyyou9693]

One of mine fell off, so, replacement trim or garnish is over $300. Is there a way to use silicon or another adhesive to put them back on? I am not spending over $300 for plastic.

[@bastiangarate3485]

I had the same problem, did you find any solution for this?

[@heyyou9693]

@@bastiangarate3485 yeah, the shop put some sort of silicone on it. Use some tape until the silicone dries. I would guess there should be some at an auto parts store. Way cheaper than $300.

[@ymmij1973]

There are many auto parts stores that sell universal variety packs of door panel/ body clips. I would imagine you'll be able to find just the clips you need. I have an 8th gen maxima also. Driver side one is starting to come loose.

[@devinguzman4624]

Hey did it work just noticed my right side is coming loose and cant find a replacement anywhere

[@ymmij1973]

@@devinguzman4624 I haven't went to the store to find any replacement clips but I used gasket sealant and basically attached it to the vehicle that way. The clips are unusually small. The problem isn't really the clips, the problem is the plastic piece that attaches to the trim breaks off from the trim. I used a hot glue gun to attach the clips to the trim and then used sealant and attached it to the body of the car

[@tracyfurman2137]

Where did you buy the piece?

[@robertperala]

Someone broke mine off. Where can i buy it?

[@selplacide]

Where did you order it

[@DIYeverything513]

The clipse behind that molding are called retainer clips. Most are used once and upon removal of that molding for any reason occurs then you have to replace those retainer clips. Thats common on all cars.

[@jeanetteromero1108]

Where can I purchase one?

[@Justchrislove]

I need the name of that part and where to get it from. Can you help?

[@stylishgambino1781]

Where online did you purchase the part would appreciate thank you.

[@deesantiago368]

Did you ever find out the name of the part? I need it for the right side

[@Justchrislove]

@@deesantiago368 yes a body shop I went to found it and ordered it. Don’t remember the name tho. Just call a body shop

[@stylishgambino1781]

Where online did you purchase the part thank you

[@jasonwarner9020]

What kind of shops do these kinds of wraps? I'm interested in changing the appearance of my 2017.

[@vppro5049]

You said it won’t be coming off. My side has falling off 4 times already. Dealership installing my 5th one today. Coming off the clips every time

[@sonnylee8912]

It is easy to remove it ?

[@kodymerchant2837]

What website did you purchase the trim from?

[@DC-vk6ug]

It's manufacturing bat part install and very easy to lose if you washing car very often. Best solution 3D tape or special glue.

[@Hodjaev7]

How much you pay for wrap?

[@itslegitkid6222]

Does anyone know where you could get replacement clips for this

[@maxx_life]

After breaking all my clips i went to home depot, bought some high strength velcro, after a few tries i got it pretty much perfect and i cant tell a difference lol

[@veeshan2856]

Hey how is that holding up? I'd love to try this fix in my Maxima. Do you remember which Velcro exactly you got?

[@maxx_life]

@@veeshan2856 its actually holding up with no issues so far. I cant remember the exact brand but i got it from home depot, and it was rated for like 10 to 15lbs, and for being used outside. Just clean the surface very well for good adhesion. Only advice i have is buy a little more than you think youll need, it took me 2 tries to figure out the best areas to put the velcro in

[@kayr799]

You should make a small video of where you put the velcro lol. Mine came off in car wash im sick. It looks so ugly and Nissan is sayin 400$ to fix. Gtfoh. Do it ma self 💪🏼

[@maxx_life]

@@kayr799 thats a great idea i will definitely do it and ill put the link here

[@JFREEMVP]

just snip all the clips, cover all the holes with waterproof gorilla tape to keep water out, then use 3m self tape on the ends and press hard and itll stay just fine. 3m is super strong just make sure u clean area and press and hold

[@johnle7469]

What is the actual name and part number on the parts for the garnishes??

[@artfixatedbyjoep511]

78873-9dj1a

[@artfixatedbyjoep511]

Belt moulding

[@milemarker68]

Dealer wants $169 for the part and 2 1/2 hours of labor. Service Advisor claims its very time consuming. Grand total $475. WTF!

[@chadschoolcraft248]

It is too bad you can't just buy the clips. that is silly. I can not find those anywhere. Thanks for showing us.

[@Magik1369]

This garnish piece or whatever it is..is a poorly design piece of shlit and I won't ever buy another NIssan because of this. Mine got destroyed in a touchless car wash...and a new one from Nissan is like $189.00, which is robbery. Cheap piece of junk.

[@brucemcmillian6140]

that good info bro im blacking out all chrome on a white 19 and i was just seting wrondering how that trim off

[@andreuserickson8530]

I found mine off Amazon

[@l2007303a]

Both of mine flew off my maxima while driving m separate instances...I have a 2017 platinum called the dealer they made an appointment since I have 53000 miles they say maybe manufacturer can help me out...also my Nissan emblem fell off the front at 35k miles and never found it...FUCK NISSAN

[@l2007303a]

Dejuh Vuh I called Nissan the one day the tech said that it was like 800 dollars I was like bro the part on eBay is 160ish wtf smh....I’m trading mine in in July I’m done with Nissan they suck

[@williammiddleton7798]

Dealer try to charge 300 but they broke it so it was free

[@TheWidowmaker430]

One single clip broke off of mine. I just need that clip

[@meriemflorida9053]

Tourus Stanley hi there I’m just wondering if you resolved the issue cause i have the same problem as yours! Let me know if you fixed it please and thank u!

[@dhubbard313]

Tbh it's nothing you can do to fix the clip. That's the main reason why this part breaks so easy. They use cheap clips to hold an expensive piece of plastic in place. Same bro. Happened 3 times on 2 different Maximas so far. I've complained to Nissan corporate. It just happened again yesterday. What I figured out is that it's basically unavoidable. Car wash, snow, etc. will get to this expensive piece of plastic at some point. I think some form of glue/adhesive would do some good (but that realistically would only work if yours had broken already because you'd have to apply it to the inner side obviously - would be a good idea to do this IF you had a replacement part...before you put it on). Smh.

[@stylishgambino1781]

Have the same problem I now have black tape on both sides we should collectively sue Nissan so they do a recall and do the necessary repairs the clips are cheap and they are gonna just break continuously no matter how many times it's replaced I suggest to just glu it down the first time it's replaced,the parts even though plastic is very expensive.

[@CheoCascara]

Damnit, my left side has 1 clip holding it together

[@maxx_life]

Yep i didnt watch this vid yet but all my clips broke. I took them off to black them out. I went to home depot, bought some high strength velcro and you cant even tell. Added bonus if u ever need to remove them again your golden lol

[@gisellerotenberg1475]

@@dhubbard313 what did nissan say? My roof panel came off due to car wash. Love the car but shit is insane with trim falling off

[@dhubbard313]

@@schmoney2timez505 nothing lol. Take it to ur local dealer. They will fix it for free. Throw a fit if they don't! FYI, the replacement part will have a bigger rivet on the side of the trim closest to the trunk. Nissan changed the way this part is made a while back. I guess as a cheap means of fixing the issue. Depending on what year you have (2018 or older I'm guessing?), you'll notice they'll have to drill into the corresponding hole in the car's body in order to install the replacement trim. Because the original hole won't fit the one *new* rivet. It shouldn't take long with a simple drill bit. Let me know what happens bro...
