I think I'm fine, West. Appreciate the offer. You mentioned RB side moulding. Those I got from Packard Motor Car and they came with clips. The TOP moulding strips are the ones I was looking for. They are avail from Steele if you buy the $700 package, as mentioned, and I'll probably mention it again sometime, cuz it kind of frosts me. But the combination of existing clips and the nail screws I'll make should work.

I'm guessing you just glue it down as close to the original position as you can and then drill new holes for the clip/screws from the top rather than coming up from the bottom using the existing hole and coming through the middle of a rubber pillow. We could possibly drill a few positioning holes in the rubber and line them up with original holes using an awl before the contact cement locks up.

Finished sanding and putting the basecoat on the window/door moulding as Fathers Day wishes roll in from various and sundry locations.
