Ok so how does the 6 clips go in for the trim piece? Do I cut the headliner were they go or just push them in? Will they be some what loose or tight? Thanks for any help,this weekend project.

Push'm in the hole and GENTLEY squeeze the tabs to spread the rear wings. Use a soldering iron to start the hole...
Wayne so I do the hole first?

Ya, if you're glued across them... just burn a hole big enough to insert the metal bracket.
Dave, I'm glad you're ahead me in the process. I'm watching your progress & questions.
Please learn from my mistakes.
I wish I never would have taken those stupid brackets off...no matter what I tried I couldn't get them to relock back in with any confidence. Didn't want to chance them falling out later, once the windshield is in, you're blocked out.
I ended up running a screw in to hold them good.

Those clips look like the ones on my 65 Belvedere. I modified the clips and installed nut serts and 10-32 screws to retain them.

That’s a great idea

Bringing this thread back to life...Has anyone been able to find these front headliner clips? Year One, Classic Ind, Junkyard Dodge, etc. don't have them.

Repro's are junk anyhow and all break when you squeeze the tabs. Post a WTBuy for old OE's.
