Finding Interior Trim Holes

[jackf]

I finally bit the bullet and had a guy remove front and rear glass (great job, nothing broken!). Went to a headliner shop and had new headliner installed, then glass guy reinstalled glass. So far so good. The headliner shop has a large sign stating, "not responsible for broken plastic parts on classic cars". I have all good plastic, even A pillar covers, so I removed everything before I took it in. Now time to reinstall all the interior plastic trim, but the headliner shop didn't mark the holes. Any clue how to find the screw holes? Anything lost by just taping it all up and drilling new holes if it doesn't line up perfectly with the old holes? Thoughts?

You should be able to feel the holes through the headliner material. Hold the trim piece up to get an idea where the holes should be the press the area with your finger to feel for the previously drilled holes. Use a small pin to poke through the headliner where you found the hole to verify. Once you get one located you can easily find the rest using the trim piece as a guide.

Too many holes, fingers, and poking in that description!

All right Sheriff...your description should be prefaced with "Viewer discretion advised"
