I posted this in the body shop forum a few days ago but haven't gotten any responses so I decided to post it here..

Does anyone know the secret for installing the pinchweld clips and the trim that goes around the outside of the convertible top on a 69 Camaro?

I am having a heck of a time with this... Do you install the clips to the trim first or to the pinchweld?

I find that the clips don't fit the trim tightly so it is very difficult installing this trim when putting them on the trim first.

When I attach the clips to the pinchweld first, I can't snap the trim over them all the way; they slide down over the pinchweld and then there is no room to snap them over the pointed ends.

I read in a previous post about using screws but my new clips didn't come with screws and I don't know where these would be used.

Any tips or drawings would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!

japper,

are you talking about the clips for the rear trim chrome for verts? from what i remember, its a fairly simple operation. i just slid the clips on then pt the trim. i didnt have a problem with them at all.

Thanks for the reply Angel.

Yes I agree it should be simple but if you read my post I tried it both ways and couldn't get it to snap down on the clips.

Does anyone have a drawing or any tips on how these to install this trim?

thanks in advance.
