It looks like there may be a metal strip similar to the one over the rear window but I am not sure. If anyone has a picture or instruction advise on this, I would appreciate it.

You start by installing the rear piece first (yes, there is a rear metal strip at the rear but not at the front).
Then, install the roof bow with the slot forward.
Then, install the front cardboard into the roof bow - the front of the cardboard is inserted under the windshield rubber seal.

No harm asking. It is always nice to hear confirmation of your own thoughts, especially if it is the first time.

If the windshield is not yet installed, can I go ahead and install the headliner and not have problems with the winshield rubber when I install it later? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 554 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 554 | You may be able to do it as you describe but both the windshield install and the headliner will be much easier to install windshield first and then headliner. The headliner rests on the windshield rubber until the inside windshield trim is installed.
