I can't quite get the A pillar plastic trim to go completely back on
I adjusted the t top to fit, but the A pillar molding I had to take off will not completely go back on. It needs to fit tighter than it is. Any input would be appreciated. By the way, I am refering to my 92 RS.

Try using new clips. Also those panels had a piece of very thick black foam on both edges that filled the gaps. They didn't fit that tight and without that foam they really look bad.

Where is it not tight? At the ttop mounting point or down the A pillar where the plastic clips hold it in? Did you verify that the white clips were secured completely to the plastic moulding? When I removed my A pillar plastics, I bought new trees to ensure they were secured. The old ones get damaged when removed. just a thought.

Yeah, ok. The clips that hold it on. The fitting problem is in the middle area where the clips aren't holding. For lack of a better word, they ratchet on, but they don't want to go tight. Where can I buy new clips?
