Default Squeak fixed

Annoying squeak on the passenger side roof trim, just behind passenger head. I put my finger on it and it went away then came back with vengeance over the past year. I did what was suggested in these two threads with the exception of putting sealant around the right rear triangle window. After removing everything and looking at it I just did not see the benefit of that. I also slightly bent the clips out on each clip to make them fit tighter. I also bought a bunch of replacement clips, I replaced about 50% of them, was all I had or would of replaced all to just to be done with it. Its been a month, no more squeak! I was about to sell it, dove me crazy! All in took about about 2 hrs and super easy.

Congrats on getting the squeak fixed. Squeaks and rattles are things that really bother the heck out of me.
