Headliner Install on Project '69!!

[HOTROD]

Help!! How do the clips in the front work?? I cant seem to remove them.

The clips in the front hold the metal front edge molding in place.
They are removed using a flat screwdriver & needle nose pliers. You'll see two small flat metal tabs wedged together in the center. Use the screwdriver to spread them apart. You might have to pull them out then with the pliers.



YAH WHAT HE SAID !
Reinstall in reverse. Insert the clips, the squeeze the tabs together with the pliers. This will spread the tabs back out on the other side.
You'll get the idea how they work better once you get one of them out.
Good luck!

Does any know what the clips are called that hold the header trim on. Also where can I get new ones?

Was curious to know if you put any sound deadener/insulation material before you installed the headliner?  If so, what type?

I cut pieces of that foil bubble wrap (foil on both sides was available at hardware store) and used 3M super 99 to glue each piece in place between the ribs.  It worked out good for me.

Thanks guys for the info. I'm trying to install the one in my 68 and am having a fit with the sail panel section on both sides. Does the sail panel boards go behind the metal tabs on the package tray?

Very nice!

What type of glue do I need to use?

I didn't install mine myself, but the guy who did used a spray contact adhesive that he had in a cheap looking paint gun. Same as he stuff they use for vinyl tops. I think you could order it from a autobody supply store or legendary. It appears to work better than even the 3m bomb can stuff. Word of advise, cover everything. I had drop cloths over the hood, dash, trunk and still got some on the body. 3m adhesive remover on a rag does take it off easy though, I would be nervous about using it on uncured paint.

Hey guys,

I'm new here and want to say hello!  My son and I just purchased a '69 Charger RT, 440-4sp, Dana 60 - 4:10 Super Track Pack car with almost enough parts to make 2 cars.  The drive train is out of the car, but we've got it all minus a few engine brackets and the drive shaft.  I'll give the body a 97 out of 100.  There is absolutely no rust anywhere on the car.  This was one of those "barn finds" as the guy who had it has had it inside a garage since 1982.  He stripped it then had it painted then never put it back together.  Now he's sick and can't work on it.

Anyway, my question is this:  I've got all of the roof bows, but have no idea which one goes where.  Can any of you tell me the length of each bow so we know where to install them when we put in the new head liner?  I could just climb in the car and figure it out but right the car is full of parts and I'd have to take everything out of it to do this.  Thanks in advance.
