Interior trim won't go back in.
I took off my headliner board and replaced the headliner, but now I can get everything in but the stupid trim that goes on top of the doors by your head and down the windshield beam! any stupid trick? Or maybe I broke them? Idk!

Re: Interior trim won't go back in.
Do you have the plastic pieces that hold them on? They can be bought at your local parts store.
If they are broke, take 1 with you to get the right ones.

I mean i broke of the tabs on the actual piece. But I think it will still stick.. do they just slide in? Or?

Re: Interior trim won't go back in.
IIRC,
Yes they slip about 1/2 to 3/4 inch.
Take a look at the underside of the trim piece. Look to see if it has a slot for the retainer to slip in.
Our t-top trim had a slot.
Gently push it on then gently down toward the dash pad.
It's been a couple years but we'll be doing it again in spring for cleaning & final assembly of our interior.
