Headliner clips

When I bought my Camaro it didn't have a headliner and some of the trim peices. I took all that out of a 88 Firebird. (I have an 89 RS) What I didn't think to do was look at the clips/or whatever holds it up. I am pretty sure it's clips of some sort. I have the round (door clips) I thought that was what they were. But on the roof above the door it has rectangular clips.
Does anyone have a pic/description/part # for the cllips that holds the headliner up in these cars.
I just want to make sure I am putting it together right.
Thank You

Re: Headliner clips

Humm, I don't have a clear memory, but it seems to me there are three clips at the windshield edge of the headliner (I believe they're part of the headliner itself). These clips, along with the sun visors hangers, hold the front in place.

Re: Headliner clips

Okay
This is a pic of the front of the roof. I am most curious about what goes into the T shaped slot.



This is the clip on the DS A pillar, right above the window.

I didn't really think about the visors, but your right about that part. I just don't know about the center.

Like JamesC said there is 3 clips that go there. Trust me go to the Local GM dealer they can get them for you. I broke mine when I recovered my headliner
and picked them up there.

A bit, along with the dome light and seat belt attachments--though I don't recall how much support this latter provides.
