I am going to install the top on my 66 coronet. I have removed all the glass and chrome etc before painting. Now comes the install. The question is the factory top had a million staples holding the front and rear down at the roof where the glass lays. What did you guys do instead of those staples?
 
I didn’t use any. Pulled the trim clips and installed the vinyl down behind them. When reinstalled they help hold the vinyl like the staples did.
 
Just getting ready to do mine too, same as T2R9 no staples needed
 
I had a buddy of mine install the new vinyl top on my Newport and the front and rear glass had clips. Not sure bout a B-body though.

I just recently did my vinyl top on the Road Runner.I did notice that there was a staple in each corner of the window frame. I did not reinstall them ,I just glued them down
