I still have my trim off and the majority of the clips are in place in their original locations. I could give you guidance on which ones go where if you need that. I have a new set and it appears to me they just set in the channel and the goo surrounds them.

I dug in further and found that the adhesive holding the windshield to the cab had shrunk and dried, my windshield was literally falling off lol. Anyways, I was never truly satisfied with the rubber trim. The little bends in the top corners always bugged me. I have the chrome trim on order and have already sanded, cleaned, and POR15 coated my windshield channel. I have 2 tubes of 3M windshield adhesive on hand and some primer. not seeing alot of info on how to properly set the clips for the molding yourself. im pretty handy and am not afraid of the "figure it out" method, but in this scenario i wont really have alot of chances to do it right. anyone have some tips of installing the clips/molding? i assume the clips get stuck into the adhesive after you place the glass? any help is appreciated.

ps dont care about anyones opinion about the rot inducing oem trim. truck is babied and kept under a garage.
