interior widshield trim install question
I am trying to replace the interiro trim pieces around the windshield. How do you line up the verticle pieces so they lock into the felcro attachments, and what's the best way to line it up so it lines up with the metal uprights. Any pictures of the moldings in place will help alot. Especially pictures of where the top part fits to the corner molding.

I positioned the 2 vertical pieces where I wanted them and then hit the trim in the area of the velcro fasteners with the heel of my hand to set the velcro.
Hope that helps.

Is the verticle portion of the pillar post molding sit flush against the windshield up right? The molding seems to have an indent area that looks like it should set onto the metal upright but I can't seem to make it flush.

Well that would explain it. They look good and are in place, but I figured it was the repro pieces that did not fit correctly. It seems they are too verticle and do not have the slight curve the metal post has. I wonder if they will soften up at any time, or if I put some kind of clamp on them, would they mold into the correct form.

What a chore that was, ruined the piece across the top by misdrilling it, the sides are not against the pillar post, they are too tight, just don't fit worth a crap. But they are in and I am done with that.
