    windshield and rear window trim clip placement

    I am restoring a 1968 Mustang Fastback and had to replace both full rear quarters and the roof. I need to get the measurements for where the SS trip retainers go. It is ahrd to tell from the shop manual since it does not give ant reference points only the total needed in the picture. Can someone give me some measurements to work on? The windshield I only need the top ones because of the roof replacement.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Sorry this is posted twice since I posted in wrong place before but I was just able to delete the other post.

    Re: windshield and rear window trim clip placement

    Thanks JJ. I was hoping a member would be able to help with one that is being restored. I was waiting for a freind to remove the front and rear glass so i could map it but I have no idea when he might do that and I wanted to get the glass back in soon.  I am also looking for a video on installing the trim but all I can find is how to remove the trim and how to remove and install the glass. I had a hell of a time installing on a previous 68 fastback and screwed up 2 pieces trying. The same piece twice! I finally just left it with the dents. is there a trick for the windshield pieces? what pieces do you start with and do you start by putting on the clip on the windshield side then snap into place or vice versa? I did the outside first and snapped towards the glass. I also started with the bottom and worked up. The right side piece was the problem one. Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
