Just curious of what that piece of trim spanning below the door between the wheel wells is called? Rocker panel trim?
And would these be the proper clips to reattach it? My originals don't quite resemble these:

Much thanks for a reply!

It has been quite some time since I last had any dealings with those trim pieces on the rocker panels of 240's. Working from memory I'd have to say those are what I remember.

They are placed in position through the hole in the rocker and then the protruding piece is tapped in with small hammer. The causes the part that is in the hole to spread out and take a firm grip on the edges of the hole.
