Parking and trim
I finally got a third parking stall. I'm paying 50 bucks for it a month, but it's fully covered and it sits next to some old classic 60's car that's tarped all the time and hasn't moved in years.
No more getting the wife up at oh-dark-thirty so she can drop me off in Wahiawa to get the GTA for my drive to work.
Speaking of the GTA, I managed to lock the keys in it (again) but a bunch of co-workers and I were able to get it unlocked (after twenty minutes) but we knocked the trim piece askew that runs from the top of the 'B' pillar all the way to the base of the 'A' pillar. I'm now looking at these curious plastic clips and trying to figure out how they stick on to the trim piece. I hope I didn't break them, becasue it looks very ghetto to have this trim piece all knocked funny and not really attached to anything anymore.
Is there some Mystical Technique Of Old School Mechanics that I need to learn to get the clips to work right?

hmm... sounds like the trim piece that slides in...
there should be little slots on the trim, and those slide onto the clips rear to front... good luck

Oh, okay. I thought that was what it was suposed to do, but I guess I gave up too soon. I'll fumble with it more tonight.
