Headliner cement

[1Bad454]

What are you guys using for headliner cement. I was trying to avoid spraying it on.  

[Blackhawk]

I used Weldwood contact cement or their Landau Top cement.

Any recommendations on installation of the headliner? This will be my first time.

Make sure you get the bows in the correct holes so the headliner doesn’t hit your head. Ask me how I know????

The best thing I can say is really take you time .Stretch it multiple times just keep going around it . Lots of clips and do put your screws in before you put the headliner back in it is much easier to find them after headliner is installed

Okay I've been installing my headliner and I think that I would rather get a tooth pulled without anesthesia...  Anyways I'm stuck on the drivers side sail panel area.. I can't get the wrinkles out. I've spent hours trying to solve this. Does anybody have any ideas??

I really don't have any idea, but I was guessing that maybe some steam if you have one of the steamers to get wrinkles out, and maybe a paint roller to help stretch the fabric.

Ron i never did one so you should wait for someone who did to jump in. From looking at it i would think you might have to take that last bow off and move it back one hole to stretch every thing back a little, so that way would be tight, then go side to side. 

And please dont pull any teeth out just yet, our members will figure it out for you!!

Those are good ideas gentlemen.

I have never attempted one either but for my curiosity is there a specified front and rear?

Mine was marked front and rear. It also had a center line drawn on it.

Ron,  the material looks like it is bunched up on the second to the last rod.  Is the listing cut back enough to allow the side of the headliner to be pulled tight side to side?

That's a good observation. I'll cut the listing back more.

I just finished mine I agree but believe you need to cut both number four and number 5 inserts and restrech also make some relief cuts around you qtr glass area and especially around tha bend on back glass .really tricky around coat hanger area.also needs restricted towards the back take you time and a lot of clips and you will get it Good Luck
