Title: Any headliners install tricks or tips/advise? (2nd gen.)
Post by: b5blue on June 05, 2013, 06:04:23 AM
  As stated advise for 70 Charger install? I have read and re read up on it here and have a you tube vid bookmarked on it. The back glass is out waiting for this, the windshield will have to stay put.
  I have spray glue and lots of clips!  :scratchchin:

 never used any glue doing mine  ,  also  iron the back of the back side of the head liner a few times to get crease's out ,  before fitting,
  the headliner rods/bows are color coded as to what order they go in , some start from the front  ,  but i stated from the back & dont for get to hook the tensioning springs on  rear bow/rod first , as that what your pulling against  :yesnod:

 he makes it look easy & has cut loads out of tricky stuff  , i'm no expert , ( this guy is obviously a interior guy )  but  you need to temporally clamp the headlining where he glues &  undo it stretch it many times as you go , ((( if you glue it , your going to be in big trouble  :Twocents: )))  , &  go back to a section & heat up with a hair dryer stretch & clamp again , mine never had any sign of glue there from the factory ,  plan on 6 or 7 hours  to do it ,  i wrote a good  reply to a thread on fitting mine , but cant find it at the minute  :scratchchin: ,
few other guys on here have done  few other awesome write ups on fitting headliners too  :yesnod:

 heres the color coding of bows for a 69

     Front
1 = tan
2 = sublime
3 = blue
4 = pink
5 = violet/ lavender
6 = bare metal  or black

  I've left my nasty old one in place (whats left of it.) and plan on doing it all over one weekend to avoid loosing my way. I got the white fluff insulator instead of jute, and new sail sideboards. I was confused about the glue used in that vid. as nobody here posted anything like that. Here is a link to Bills install he used 3M trim glue:

 only place that was glued on mine was the sail panel to package tray  , never glued when putting in new head liner , used hheavy duty double sided carpet tape ,
still cant find my post , forget what it was under now , & it was answering someones post , anyway here is some pictures of my headliner ,  by the time you heat & stretch it , then re clip it heat streach re clip it ,   all wrinkles came out straight away ( not over time like lots of people say  ,  thats why i cant work out why that guy glues the edge , IMO  its incorrect  :shruggy:   well not how i done mine
