So I took off my top and side windshield trim so I could have a body shop paint the roof, quarters and back of my car. To make a story short, the car's home and now I'm putting things back together and I'm stuck putting the top windshield trim back on. I've searched and can't really find any info on which way the clips go on i.e. with the little antenna thing that stick out (technical I know) on the left or right side (with me facing the windshield). I'm pretty sure it's on the left side as that's the way the clips seem to be most secure but if I flip them around they are more flush against the roofline. Also once I get the clips on their pegs how do I put the trim back on? Do I push it in like I did with the A-pillar trim? or is there a special trick to it?

Thanks in advance,

Luis

 

If in doubt, I'd be willing to bet your local glass shop would pop them on for free. Trim should just snap on with a firm push with the heel of your hand, BUT if they are on backwards, you'd likely break a clip-

Thanks for your reply Stu, I thought (and might end up) taking the car to a glass shop but unfortunately I'd have to wait until spring to do so since it's currently stored and without insurance (which is mandatory in BC). So I figured I'd give it a shot and see if I could do it on my own (this is the last thing I have to do before I can apply to put collector plates on the 7).
