How to install headliner side trim?

[koosh]

Been internet searching, cant seem to figure out how these side trims go on, 68 charger.
Car came to me with these already off.
I see a bag of clips marked “interior side trim clips “
See pictures, i know there’s a screw hole near the front if each side trim. But cannot figure out how these clips attach to the trim, and how they attach to the car!

The clips get spread evenly along the trim - you don't need a clip where the screws are !! The clips snap up between the roof skins - look, you'll see the gap. So ... clips installed on the trim (I usually spread the clips a bit first so they stay in place in the trim), hold the trim up in place, lined up with a screw hole and bang it into place. It should hold long enough to get the screws in. You're lucky, the Belvedere models only got one screw !!! Hope this helps.

By the way, all clips go in the same way - one of the ones in your photo is wrong - I think the one of the right.

Take a clip out of the trim and see how it fits.
There’s an only one way they fit in.
Post 3 gkent is correct the clip on right is not installed correctly.

Hard to explain as mine is already installed and I can’t take a pic.
I had to look a few times by holding a clip up where the trim runs along the roof.
