Looking for a little guidance on installing the clips for the stainless trim that goes around the convertible top at the back. It's extremely nerve wracking pushing those clips on over new paint. It would be disastrous if the paint chipped in a spot that isn't covered by the trim. Are you laying any tape down first and pushing them on over the tape or just over the paint? Some of the clips are going on OK,, but some are not. It seems there are a couple areas where the metal is thicker then in other places.(2 pieces of metal overlapping each other so it's twice as thick) The clips don't want to go down all the way because there isn't room for two pieces of metal up in the top edge of the clip. It looks like all the clips are the same and there aren't special clips to go in those other locations. I'm thinking about grinding/sanding the inside edge where the metal is two pieces thick. If the inside piece of metal is thinner and has a chamfer on it, maybe the clip would push down all the way?

If you lay the trim on the body you'll see how much gets covered
Tape can't hurt as long as you can get it all out
