Thanks for the words of encouragement.

There needs to be a flange at the top of these pieces to support the edge of the headliner, the flange will be more or less parallel to the roof. I'll back that flange with a strip of steel for rigidity and screw holding power.
The two outer pieces slip under the windshield trim and windlace, and will get a couple pop rivets. The center does not fit under window trim, screws into windshield header where you see the clecos. Removal will be undoing screws then dropping front and sliding out from above headliner.
