I did some metal reapir in the area around my windshield and back glass and ending up removing/grinding etc. those studs that hold the clips for the trim around these window glass.
I bought new clips and the studs that have been threaded. I just need to drill small pilot holes and screw them in.
My problem/question is how far apart do they need to be? What about how far up the edge they need to be to hold the trim flush.
Any help in trying to figure out how to locate these would be a great help. The guy helping me is a painter and young. So he hasent really worked on any vehicles with this type trim before.

Anybody have there trim off? I think I got a proper plan. But still would like some comparison numbers.
I can get the proper height by measuring the ones that are still good.
How many and how far apart they are is what I would need to know at this point.

Ray, I really appreciate you taking the time to retake those measurements. Im getting my car today and bringing it to a shop that has a "body man" that has been in the trade for over fourty years and the prime of those doing panel repair and alignment.
My painter got them close, but after this much time, effort and money its worth the extra attempt toward 'perfection". Im not expecting pebble beach quality, just its not so great now.
The panel shop said they would have it finished by Friday. So I will try and get itback to the painter Monday and he swears he is getting on it then and finishing it. Im just dredding fitting the doors with the weatherstripping, glass and getting it all to adjust out nice.
