Something that most people may not realize... the upper area below the header trim where the rear view mirror attaches is untrimmed and exoposed metal, IT WAS sprayed with dash texture.
Also make sure to use the foil tape over the convertible pinch weld so when the clips push on they do not scratch the paint and cause areas of bare metal to be exposed and ultimately have rust come out from the trim.
Sealing the header trim also must be done correctly in order to keep water from being driven over the edge of the header and a waterfall into your lap!!!... the early C3 Corvette Assembly manuals illustrate the sealing method.
