How many of these headliner clips do I need? I only found 3 but everyone sells them in large quantities. I plan on using contact cement as well.
.

 

[zyzzyx]

Use as many as you want! the more you use, the easier it is to get the wrinkles out. And stop at AutoZone and
buy a spray can of 3M Headliner Adhesive. Good stuff!

And stop at Office Max and buy a boat load of these stationary clips to help you out.

 

[zyzzyx]

Oh, And I found this pic for your clips:

Thanks, I really appreciate the pictures and help.

I order the rear window molding today. Figure I need to get them painted prior to installation since they only come in black.

 

[zyzzyx]

What color is that molding? Mine was light blue, and I found the right dye for it. I gave the remainder of the
spray can to Mario. Here's a pic of mine.

Ran into another, I need help, area.
Getting ready to paint the upper rear quarter moldings and was puzzled about how to install the new felt strips when I finished the painting.
They have holes in them but they don't line up with the holes in the metal. It looked like the factory used staples, so what is the best method to install these things?

 

[zyzzyx]

Get some 1/32" stainless steel welding MIG wire if you can and clamp the strip in place. Drill new holes where
you see the holes in the strips and make your own staple and install with needle nose pliers. It's not easy!

My darker interior trim is Bahama Blue Poly Suede and the lighter trim is Frost Blue.

Frost blue on inside of door.

The back window trim will be the darker color while the upper quarter panel and window trim will be the Frost Blue.

 

[zyzzyx]

So is mine! So, your rea

r window molding should be the same as mine?

 

[zyzzyx]

My trim code is S6B I believe. Mine was original and it was the sky blue color.

Post 1,149 is a good answer. Maybe measure the staple holes and try to find the same at hardware stores
