OK I bought the interior sail panel boards. Ive got them covered in my material. The questions I have pertain to installing the panels.

1.) Do they go over the package tray sides?
2.) I have a metal piece that runs along the bottom of the rear window in the inside. The piece has a holes on either end of it. Is there more to this? Like metal pieces that go around the window? Its looks unfinished as it is. Makes me think the panels would tuck into this piece that I dont have.
3.) I do have the interior metal pieces that go over the headliner rails that run along the length of the car above the windows. Im guessing the sail panels tuck in behind that?

SHould I have to remove any parts to install these? These panels are A LOT larger than I imagined they would be.

If you know where some good pic of this are I would appreciate it.

I spent the morning looking at really tiny pictures on bing images. Looks like I have to remove the interior quarter panels and tuck the sail panels behind the rubber window trim.

But I still have a question about the rear window interior trim. That metal piece at the back of the package tray beneath the rear window still looks unfinished. What am I missing on either end of that? Or around the whole rear window?

At either end of the metal piece are two L shaped trim pieces. The link in the post above shows what they look like. There's a rubber molding that snaps in around the other 3 sides. Here's a link to it. http://www.ss396.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=chevellecamino&Product_Code=IJ-3212

Ive seen those pieces while shopping several times. Never new where they went.

Next question. HOW is that piece under the rear window held in?

Here's pics of when I installed my headliner/sailpanels. Hope this helps.

Wow that is beautiful!! Thank for the pic - that helps a lot.

Those end caps are held on by screws - but is it a u-clip that goes on the piece under the window for the screws to go into?

 

[Finally]

The piece under the window is part of the body and pinch weld, not removable, well not easily. The corner pieces are held in by screws, on my 70 the screws thread directly into the metal piece, no clips.

 

[barrrf]

Yeah I figured out that its integral. Which is dumb.

Thank for the info on the screws!

How is the metal piece that runs length wise above the quarter and side windows held to the roof? Mine fell off when I pulled the interior panels off. I see something that looks like there should be clips?

it is more of a pinch type trim. It has a metal center that is by design going to pinch the headliner and the sail panel to the roof. If yours wont grab, you can gently use a pair of pliers to pinch ther metal center back to shape so you can tap it back on with your palm or a rubber mallet.

Im able to move the clips around inside that trim. As a result, I believe the PO had broken and removed a couple. Can these be purchased as a separate item?

My search for "clips" hasnt yielded favorable results.

 

[barrrf]

Still cant find the clips.........or the part itself.

What is the part called?

 

[Alan F]

Here's a picture if it helps.

I've seen it described as "headliner side trim". So the part would be headliner side trim retainer or clips?

I have the OE metal rails in my cars but had purchased a set of the urethane repro material and it just stuffs in to the void. It didn't look as crisp installed as the OE rails. I think your best bet is going to be find the clips used or buy used moldings.

 

[barrrf]

The metal ones definitely look nice. Cant seem to find those damn clips.

I may just have to reposition some of the clips already in there to spread the load.

Thanks for your input Alan
