Guys , I have new headliner installed. It's been a while since disassembly. Can someone please post some Close Up pics of relationship of outer upper weatherstrip retainer, Upper window weatherstrip, and how it relates to the upper inner snap in metal trim on the edge of headliner. Car is 68 Roadrunner Hardtop not post car. Can't be sure if the weathersrip reaches to the inner trim piece or what. Also ,if any one has done these, (and I'm sure they have) should any adhesive be used on the inner side of weatherstrip. I just don't want to take it apart 4 or 5 times. Thanks in advance.
 
The headliner wraps into the Chrome retainer channel and the retainer as they call it in the book has about 1"w x 1/8 thick gasket on top that goes the length of the retainer. At the bend it gets sealerr shown in the picture were it says seal in HIGHLIGHTED GREEN AREA. Then it screws up into the roof. Then the rubber weatherstrip gets glued in with 3m weatherstrip and gasket adhesive 08008 ( black ). The green inner moulding snaps on inside( painted piece snaps inside the car and wraps around to the weatherstrip you see outside ). You can see that in the picture I took painted green and cant see the retainer anymore. Hopefully this makes since. Mine is all together so pictures wont help you.

Thanks Dave, I actually have the retainer in place with the thin seal behind it. Really what I wanted to see is a pic of after it is All installed so I can see how close the weatherstrip is to the interior metal trim that fits just inside the car roof from it. An installed pic should tell me what I need to know.
 
I know the pic is hard to see but you only have a little bit of the retainer showing. 1/8 to 3/16 showing of chrome.
