72 Skylark coupe, I need to replace it. Pointers, suggestions, how to's? Is there suppose to be a backing, or some sort of insulation between the headliner and roof? Where to buy new? Thanks
Just my opinion, you're better off leaving it to a professional. You can buy the material and find someone with experience to install it. I believe Legendary along with some others has the material and clips.
Yes, I have read that advice previously. Can it be that difficult to slide the rods into the sleeves, pop the rods into the appropriate holes, pull the vinyl tight and glue?
I just removed my rodent infested headliner, and now I see what you mean.....gotta find someone reasonable to install a new one!
I've done a couple. It's not hard to do. You are correct- slide the rods and pull out the wrinkles. It can be frustrating but its not rocket science. The vinyl will shrink over time and flatten out any remaining wrinkles. I did mine before the glass was in, which made it much easier.
I had a pro install the new headliner in m7 '72 GS and it came out great. Have a pro do the install. Well worth the money.
