Hi. You are absolutely correct,  trim the tubes as required, make sure you leave enough material to maintain the stitching.

An update.
I removed the windscreen myself by tucking the inside part of the seal under the spot weld lip a little at at time, starting in the top corner and then equal amounts each side of the start point, took about half and hour.

The headlining I found quite easy to do using the instructions you guys recommended and the 3M Refit tape. I would have really struggled with contact adhesive, spray or from a tube.
I attached about 6 inches at the front and then the same at the rear, the completed the windscreen area. After that was complete I did the sides and finished with the rear C pillars.
I found i quite straightforward and would say if you have the patience and use the tape go for it.

Thanks for all the help folks.

Brilliant well done, glad you used the 3M fixit tape, looks a good job done.

The tape will be very useful for other jobs in your restoration.
