Do you have a picture of those? I'm not sure which ones your speaking of....

I guess I don't have a great picture....

Thanks Dad! Hey I noticed on your thread that you used duct tape to cover the hole on your rear inside roof line. What was the reasoning for that? I found your clip pictures! Now I know what I'm looking for! Thank you

Covered all the C pillar holes with heavy tarp tape, as that was the route mice took to get in the headliner the last time..

Good advice!

Well put the X on the ground. Time to start getting her ready for the interior guy..

I think I have the rear height where I want it. If it settles another inch I'll be happy. I think adding interior and a tank of gas should bring it down where I want. The dehump gives me plenty of clearance.

I'd like the lip of the rim to just be level with the wheel well lip.

Getting ready to put the black top on her

How do the vinyl tops get finished along the drip rail? Do they just get glued down in the channel or roll up under the drip rail molding?

When my rails came off the vinyl was still inside them so yes it goes up and into the rails.
Can't wait to see yours with the black top!

Like Kevin said, yes in drip rails. Also I had heard there were two trim sets, one for vinyl and for with out. But I don't know if that is true. I think my guy mentioned just going to the second lip but not around it.

Mine went right around it. Car originally had white vinyl that was cut off and removed but it was left under the trims. The first colour is the vinyl.

I have a 70 parts manual. I’ll have to sed if it has multiple part numbers for that trim.

So after some digging I'm thinking I'm short some pieces for the headliner install.

I need the 2 short pcs on the left.

 

[69 GTX]

Also need 2 of the bow clips. Going to do some hard searching tomorrow but wanted to put this out there in case I can't come up with them.

 

[69 GTX]

Well I did find the 2 missing clips. But the sail panel teeth are MOA. Going to a local scrap yard in the morning to look. He said he thought he had some.

 

[69 GTX]

Got the headliner bow clips in, and coat hanger hook. I'm pretty sure it goes in the lower hole. Let me know if I am wrong.
