On the windshield the top two pieces of stainless go into the rubber seal, after the gasket is on the glass. Once the glass is pulled in and your sure it it centered in the opening, start with the bottom of the top two pieces. The ends have a hole that a screw goes trru and into the pillar. The install the two corner pieces. They slide up onto the upper pieces and set in against the pillar. the front end of the corner have a retainer that stick out towards the front of the car. A screw goes in eachof those as well. Once that is done, you install the lower two pieces. you have to be careful and slide each lower piece onto the lower trim clips that are screwed to the cowl. Be sure you put the center joint coveron before you slide the two pieces all the way in. Each of the lower pieces have a clip right in the apex of the curve. It has a stub that goes into a hole on the cowl. Before you put it into the hole, put a pieceof strip caulk around the base of the stud so when it tighten down it will seal the hole. The nut for that clip goes on from under the dash. Now as you put the lower piece in place, be sure to take your time and guide it into the end of the corner piece you installed earlier. You will have to bow the moulding just a little to get it in. When you tighten the stud clip, itwill help pull the corner pieces in tight againts the car.
On the back glass, first put the moulding clips on the pinch weld around the opening. The set you buy comes with I think? 12 clips? I add 4 extra. one extra on each side right inthe curve on the outer end of the lower moulding and one extra on either side of center at the bottom about 3 inches from center each wat. The moulding if bad about tring to rise back out in the areas. Next put the rubber on the glass and pull it in the car. By pull it in , I mean you use a piece of small cord. Lay the cord down into the channel that goes over the pinch weld.Cross the two ends in the center inside and tape them against the glass. have someone help by putting a little presure on the outside of the glass as you pull it in. Once it's in then the stainless goes on. There are two upper outer corner pieces (small L shape with a longstud on the back side). Put the upper piece across and once you satisfied it is centered, tap on it with the heal of your hand. No hammers here). Tap wrap strip caulk around the stud on the corner caps. Guide the corners onto the top and lower piece while pushing the little stud into the hole in the pinch weld oneach side. You may want a helper inside start the little nut on the clip while you hold in on the corner piece. Once they are tight your done. One note, dont't over tighten the corners. They will pull in and bow up on ends. Then you buy two more.
