Installing A pillar chrome without damage?

Do you have a pic of the piece in question?? I am very familiar with the early Cuda's and can't picture a piece of chrome trim on the A-pillar. The inside A-pillar trim is plastic, at least it is on all the cars I've had. Please include a pic and we'll see whats up here!!

Hold on, are you referring to the drip rail moulding on the outside?? That piece clips on from the underside first and then you press it on with the palm of your hand. It should terminate close to the top where it makes the turn, and close to the bottom where the drip channel stops!!
