Default Rear trim question

I just purchased a set of pinch welds w/caps for my 63 convertable. This maybe a silly question, but does the pinch weld slid over both the rear trim and the body/door molding or just one of them? I tried sliding it over both. It would probably fit, but then it didn't look like the cap would fit. Another simple job that ends up being not so simple.

Fits over both.

Early 63's just had a pinch cap with no hole. It was just crimped on.

Later 63's had a hole. What I call a "sunvisor screw" goes into the hole and holds it on.
