Vinyl top trim install tip..... don't Use to many clips, 3 across the back and 2 across the quarters is enough. We started with 7 across the back and could not get the trim to snap on. Well we could get 1 or 2 started if we worked real hard then we'd have to take it off and try over. Truth be told we spent about 10 hrs just installing the quarter marker lights, the 3 pieces of stainless on the deck lid and screwing around with the vinyl top trim and did not get any of the trim finished up. Came back to it a few days later and Mike brought some clips he's had since back in the day. We screwed them one at a time to a bench and shaped an old piece of trim over them a few times to make it easier once we went to the car. We started with 7 clips and no go! Went to 3 and it snapped right on. Took about 4 more hrs finishing up the top trim and reinstalling one piece of the deck lid trim we were not happy with.
Mikes coming over tomorrow for another day on the car. Good times!
