Installing Cab Back Belt Molding?

How do you attach the clips for the molding or trim to the cab? my cab did not come from the factory with the trim. But I want to paint the roof a satin black, the rest of the truck is Hot rod Flatz Burnt Orange.

Without the factory **** around the cab it will be difficult to do unless you're willing to pop-rivet or use self-drilling screws to hold the plastic molding clips in place.

Its not tough at all...if the paint work is alread done, you can simply pop rivet the clips on with brass pop rivets. Just need to mark the placement of the clips, drill some holes, and pop rivet the clips in place.
