Help with Discovery II rear corner molding

[hoosays]

hi everyone, just bought a 2001 Discovery II and love it, only thing is the rear black plastic corner molding (just below the tailight) has come loose due to a screw missing. Anyone have any idea how to replace the missing screw and reattach it securely? thanks.

Just plastic screws hold it if I recall correctly.... easy fix.

I could be wrong of course.

right but the screw is on the inside, how would i even get to it?

There is a small phillips screw on the front/side of the molding (at the bottom) where the molding meets the bumper. I believe you can gain access to the screw through the space of the seem; once that screw is removed you can pull off the molding by pulling straight back. The molding is also attached by 3 plastic push-in type clips, one on the side and two at the rear. If any of the clips are broken the molding will be loose.

Oh, thank you so much. I just ordered some new clips.
