What is the best way to install the stainless trim on the running boards (off the car) of a 1948 Tudor to prevent any damage to the trim?

I believe it slides off of one end of the board.

Well that would be some trick to "slide" the molding off since it is captivated by the fenders.

You start by hooking the bottom edge under the edge of the running board then just push the top edge on with your hands. No pounding or banging, even with a rubber hammer, you'll dent it. It just pushes on by hand and stays fine. Mine has now for 7 years since I pushed it on.

I installed new ones on my '48 by placing the bottom edge of the moulding on the running board and starting at one end, gently squezze the top edge on to the top ridge of the r. board, using hand pressure only. Work slowly and carefully.

Old Henry: Sorry about the duplication. I guess I posted my comment before I read yours.

A soapy lubricant (dish soap) helps a lot. Plus, it washes away easily once you've completed the installation.

Sorry, I read the post that the boards were off of the car.
