Message following his writeup exactly. When he tells you to push-snap the roof part in, I've had moldings take a dent, ding or bent from the pressure, and brake clips or have them snap out of place. The windshield part of the molding snaps into place fairly easily, but the roof clips are designed to be slid into place, and you'll notice that you can fit a small screwdriver into the gap b/t the roof and the underside of the molding on the inside. The gap is only visible if you stick something under it; it's basically just a space where there's still rubber molding, but no metal.

Slide the clips (two pieces already assembled) for the roof into the little slot in the middle of the molding like you're loading a shotgun. Align all the clips right over the stud, making sure which direction the underside of the clip needs to be pushed to catch, and use the small screwdriver to push it into place. It should give you a satisfying catch once in place.

Cheers,
