Headliner Reinstall?
Alright guys, got a headliner taken out, repaired, and attempting to reinstall it.
Issue I'm having is that I can't get the interior door trim to stay still.
Is there a trick to this? Or should I buy new plastic clips to hold it in?
I appreciate the help folks.

You didn't say if it was a hardtop or t-top...I assume you mean the plastics that fit on the A pillar and the roof or the leading edge of the B pillar. I would first make sure that the clip housings in the trim aren't broken and then definitely get new clips. It is a cheap way to make sure things snap back into place like new...

clips and fasteners looks like a good source! You can also get them from Classic Industries or even the dealer I think- they are not too hard to find and new pins always make the job easier... good luck!

Anyone reading this later:
I ordered these two to replace the current clips

Those Garnish Clips are a major PITA to remove.
