Backglass install problem
Update,
I tried the rope trick and I sucked at it, It caught the 6mm butyl and pulled it out so start over, bead of silicone on the pinchweld, placed rope in the channel and tried roping the glass with some help. I need more experience with that cause that sucked for us, probably should have sprayed glass cleaner on the window first. Oh well got it in.
The windshield I put a nice bead of silicone on the fence and a bead into the weatherstrip where it sits over the pinchweld and put the weatherstrip in place.
Here is what worked good this time, sprayed down the weatherstrip with glass cleaner and used the plastic bone to put the windshield in. Tapped it in real good then cleaned up the glass and weatherstrip. Applied a small bead between the glass and weatherstrip and locked down the lock bead. That part was easy.
Onto the moldings, All fit pretty good except the upper windshield, it is to high leaving a gap between the molding and the weatherstrip.
The clips were in kit form for the windshield and all the clips were the same size and I placed the upper clips in the bottom of the channel. Looks like I need shorter clips for the upper so I am going to have to be very careful drilling and installing those clips.
Also, I ended up doing the headliner myself, never done it before and I think with a couple under my belt I could be pretty good at it. Getting the rear sail panels to fit is the hardest part.
Redfish, I appreciate your concern and agree but this weatherstrip is different in the corners, no place for the lock-strip? Don't know what else to do with it.
Here is some pics:

Still see the hooks:

Molding sticks up??

Ok, not happy with the backglass area of the headliner, maybe it is the aftermarket weatherstrip. Maybe I wont look back there after awhile.
