Now what? Vinyl top install

Around the glass
I believe the vinyl goes under the clips though right? And I also believe you need the glass out to remove/install the trim clips. Maybe I need to give it a closer look.

Rear edge
What seems to be the most accurate way of cutting the rear edge of the vinyl along under the trim? Do the clips sit on the vinyl & the screws go through, essentially also holding the vinyl down? Or does the vinyl just go under the leading edge of the trim?

Thanks all for any suggestions

RRR,
According to the assembly manual for the 70/71 models, the vinyl is trimmed at the bottom of the depression that the front and rear glass is set into. So no, it does not go under the seal for the glass. Similarly, the manual says to trim the material a 1/4" below the holes in the panel for the trim. It seems that the outer edge of the vinyl should be under the edge of the trim to finish it off. I plan to place the assembled trim into place and mark the outer edge of the trim and then cut the vinyl just inside of that line to hide the edge, but still have the fasteners penetrate the vinyl. Unless I (or someone else suggests) a better method. Good luck!
