    72 T-top header trim installation question

    I have started reinstalling the chrome and stainless steel header pieces that are part of the halo surround. I have a few questions about it.

    1. The original screws that I removed from the corner header moldings were mostly reusable, however it has been quite a while since I had removed the pieces and...Iv'e slept a few times since then. I still have the screws with the countersunk heads that go in from the back side and the black screws that go in from the windshield side. When I look at the screw kit that some of the vendors sell, there are 4 screws with machine threads shown (2 per side). Do these go into the ends of the corner moldings? Because I only have a spot to put one screw there and being a machine screw thread, I figured it would have been installed somewhere besides through the side of the windshield frame like a common sheetmetal screw.

    2. The areas where the stainless t-trim meets the corner moldings. When I removed the pieces originally, I noticed there was a yellowish sealer there where the flat surfaces overlap. I have the gray strip caulk and the black 3M windo-weld to use, but this looked like it more resembled the yellow weatherstripping adhesive. What should be used in that area?

    Hi Scott,
    There is 1 flat head and 1 oval head chrome plated screw used to mount the 'wedge' receivers on the outer rear corners of each of the roof panels.
    The purpose of the flat head screw is so the stainless trim that mounts over the receivers can lay flush agains the receiver.
    Regards,
    Alan
