What happens here
Using a cordless drill and an appropriate drill bit, create a pilot hole near the end of the trim piece where it will be fastened. This step is essential to prevent the composite material from splitting when the screw is driven in and ensures the fastener goes in cleanly.
Goal: Prepare the trim piece for fastening without splitting
