Can someone tell me if a headliner on a 68-70 charger is supposed to have the material for the sail panel area attached to the large headliner piece or is it supposed to the sail panel cardboard covered in separate pieces of headliner material?

I have seen it both ways and would like to know which way is correct.

My car's cardboard sail panel piece has a spring type clip that holds it in place.  The cardboard sail panel piece has headliner material over it which is a separate piece than the large main section of the headliner.  I have seen other headliners done the same way but I have also seen headliners which are one piece with the headliner extending into the sail panel area and not as a separate piece that is attached to the cardboard.

Hope that is explained better.

Thats exactly what I am trying to figure out,, I have asked the same question a couple of times with no answer.  The headliner that came with my car was one piece. The headliner I bought from Jeff at A1 canvas has a roof part, then 2 triangular pieces, presumably to cover 'shaped' boards for the sail panel. So I bought some sail panel boards from Dante's, and they are shaped nothing like the sail panels, I think the just go behind the 1 piece headliner, I am starting to think that what Jeff sent me was a RR, Coronet headliner , but box does say charger. I wrote A1 canvas a letter just wanting to know if I had the wrong one..... But they never replied.
I hope we can figure this out.

Mine was all one piece.  Cardboard was attached as stated with the spring clip.  Headliner was all one piece that extended down over the top of it.

Jaak,

I will try and get a picture for you tomorrow if I have a chance.  If not, then Monday should be a good day to do it as I am back on night shift at the PD.
