G'day all.
I'm a brand new member with a query. Can somebody please tell me how many headlining fixing clips (Part No. TRM130) are required for the rear window?

I've not come across those being used on the rear window end of the headlining. Do you have a small or large back window?

Early 1000s were glued with the rear window out as described by John.

Later 1000s had a series of hooks along the upper edge of the aperture that the headlining wire hooked over.

Do you know what year the change was made from glued to hooks?
Am I right in believing that where hooks were used they were not permanently attached to the body but ran in a channel above the window opening? My car has such a likely looking channel as well as three permanent cable guides at each vertical end of the opening.

I don't know the changeover point but the hooks are not removeable unless you grind them off.

I believe you are right and that in my case the hooks have been ground off. I now know what the original setup was and will now have to improvise. Thanks for your assistance.
