What is claimed is: 1. A method of mounting a facia border on a peripheral surface of a structure adjacent the roof, comprising the steps of: providing mounting clips having a plurality of laterally aligned barbs; providing a first straight line on said peripheral surface; aligning said barbs at spaced intervals along said first straight line; embedding said barbs into said peripheral surface to preliminarily attach said mounting clips thereto; fixedly attaching said mounting clips to said peripheral surface with mechanical fasteners at a mounting position; providing forwardly and upwardly inclined upper ends on said mounting clips having horizontal locating edges; providing rearwardly and downwardly inclined lower ends on said mounting clips that extend below said peripheral surface in said mounting position; providing a trim member having a front wall overlying said mounting clips with an upper end located above said inclined upper ends of said mounting clips in said mounting position; providing a rearwardly reversely turned member at a lower end of said trim member having an upwardly opening lower slot for receiving said inclined lower ends of said mounting clips at said mounting position; providing rearwardly indented portions on said trim member for engaging said locating edges of said mounting clips in said mounting position; aligning said trim member on said mounting clips with said indented portions vertically aligned with said locating edges; and sliding said trim member upwardly on said mounting clips until said indented portions pass over said locating edges for detented engagement therewith at said mounting position. 2. The method as recited in claim 1 including: separating each of said mounting clips above said barbs into a lower section and an upper section; providing a second straight line on said peripheral surface; aligning said upper sections with said second straight line; and separately attaching said upper sections to said peripheral surface.
