Hi Bryan, I recently did my 3.8 fhc roof lining, just allowed enough excess material to tuck into the gap at the grip rail about 1-1 1/2", the rubber/plastic surround trim to the rear hatch also tucks in there. The front edge is part of the main roof surround and is retained by soft edge piping sqeezed into the edge gap where it meets the main rof panel. Hope this helps.
