Default Need help with C-Pillars!

I put in a new headliner and I have everything in but I can't get the rear c pillars to line up without busting the clips because I can't see to line them up! I've been at it for a couple hours help would be much appreciated.

Those panels are the worst design and hardest to install on any car I have ever worked on(and I've worked on pretty much every exotic and high end car built in the last ten years). I took mine off about a year ago and after breaking every clip on both panels trying to get them back in place I ended up throwing them on a shelf in my garage(and that's where they are still sitting).

Yeah I was debating drilling a hole and screwing it in. I'm not to keen on leaving them down as the rear is where my headliner started to fall to begin with. How many screw did you use and where?

Takes patience, I took mine off and painted them, took forever to get back on, the stupid clips break, dont line up etc.. I ended up with new clips and a heat gun , finally got them on, never will I remove them again... Try to line up the middle clips first then work your way out.
