Made good progress today. Got the windlace and tack strips installed. Learned a few things about it all too.
The front screw is intended to secure the end of the windlace to the sill under the carpet and sill plate.
The other two screws secure the bracket that holds the interior sill trim extension.
The windlace is secured in the clips by squeezing two sets of barbed prongs together.
The tack strips for the headliner cover the clips for the windlace, so the windlace must be installed first.
The tack strips fit tight against the windlace and actually help to roll it outward to cover up the pinch weld.
Because it's such a tight fit, the tack strip can easily catch and pull the windlace during installation.
So I used painter's tape to protect the windlace while installing the remaining tack strips.
