Right, and heat or no heat, the trim fits like it's supposed to. Personally I think adhesive clips with some pieces is OK, so long as no more than 1/3rd of the clips are adhesive. OT, NOS moldings often tell a different story, way WAY too many adhesive clips. Another OT, where adhesive clips are used, throw the tape on purchased clips away, and buy new.

FWW, here's a write-up on the subject. https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=844873
