I bought a headliner for my GS from Year One and it rolled up in a box (thats fine) but they folded in half before they rolled it up :af: !!! It now has major kinks and folds that will not come out :af: !!! I talked to Year One before it was sent and said they have a way of senting this with out a problem . If they used a box a little wider and just rolled it up (front to back) with out folding it in half this would not be a problem. AL.
Hi Al, Did you try to see if it fits? I too bought there headliner and it does not seem to fit very well, it is baggy between the bows, no matter which way you move it, like a bad sew job. When they shipped mine it was in a large box with the side panels and other parts. Have you tried to iron it from the back to get the folds out? Good luck, Chip
Headliner Chip, no I have not tried ironing it yet. As far as the baggy problem, this part don't look to bad but I will let the installer advise me on this. I want no part of installing this, AL.
Headliner Installation Kevin, the more I here from you the more I think I will this my self. If I can do a frame off on my 68 Corvette I should be able to do a headliner. As far as Selem You Bet!!! :3gears: That was a blast!! And you have a super New Year and with you past track record I know you will!!! :3gears: :laugh: :TU:
GS For Sale Kevin, thanks for the pointers!! So you are the lucky new owner, I was reading posts on that cool ride and glad it got into good hands :TU: , AL.
Al, I have watched my former upholstery guy do several old headliners. I just did one myself. I noticed the headliners he got always had wrinkles, creases, folds, etc in them. He got done and I am thinking to myself, well, hmmmm, that looks bad. He looks at me and tells me to watch this! He gets out a steamer, get them at Home Depot for $40-50, and VOILA, he irons/steams out all the wrinkles, creases, folds etc. Just like ironing a shirt!
Headliner Installation George, I really enjoy the mechanical part of a restoration, but the rest I don't care for, Thanks AL.
You said that you got the headliner from YO. They source from Legendary, I got one from Legendary and had the same problem. After sending back 2 of them, I found out that they had sent out a '66-'67 Chevelle unit. No way to fit it in my '69. Turned out that the folks that were sewing the material had been "confused" and sent a large number of them out. Might be the same problem. Al at Legenary was great, paid for the shipping both times, and got me the correct part. Jim
