Default Rear window trim

Hey guys, does anyone have a pic or can you tell me how to attach the bottom piece of the rear window trim for a 1078 Monte??? I don’t see any clips for it to attach to along the trunk filler.

Thx Vincenti, so I guess I have to install the clips into the filler panel. With rivets? Ya think that would be the way to go??

If you're seeing the rivets welded in there & can find the clips somewhere I'd say yes. If for some reason you don't see rivets or can't find them clips I'd say a really good adhesive would work just as good.

Yea, there are no rivets in the filler panel, so ya think no I should just apply the trim with adhesive?? I can find clips to clip on the trim, the problem is installing them I guess.

I'd go straight to adhesive. Save yourself the aggregation
