Quick and easy question on sunroof installation 700 1990

Can anyone explain how to attach the headliner panel to the upper sunroof? There are two springs and two clips. This would seem easy enough to puzzle out. However there is no obvious attachment point for the springs and the metal clips appear to be able to attach in three different ways. So, where do the coil springs attach and do the metal clips hook on the straight edge, center, or the "U" shaped edge. Anyone who has dissassembled the sunroof should know what I am discussing despite my poor ability to elucidate. I have exhaustively searched the 700/900 FAQ and no one addresses this in any detail. Please help, this is the last step in overhauling the sunroof!

The U shaped clips attach on the trailing edge of the sunroof on the back side. Open the sunroof in the vent position, the trailing edge is up, and you can feel four holes on the lower edge. The clips get inserted there. Use a pair of needle nose pliars. If you wish, I can e-mail you a pic.

Is that Laurel Md, (Wash. DC)?
