68, 69 headliners different?

I started installing my headliner on my 69. I got a new headliner, still in the box from PUI, and on the box it says '68 Charger. Now my question is the factory headliner I pulled out of the 69 was a one piece, the top and the sail areas. And you had the little short bows for the sail areas. Now this '68 liner is different, It has a roof section, but no sail areas attached, but comes with two triangular shape pieced (I assume to cover the cardboard pieces that clip to the sail panels). Make sense? Whats the deal?

To my knowledge, headliners are the same 68-70 for the chargers.

68-70 are the same headliner, most of the re-po headliners are done that way.

I would say it's the wrong headliner. You should have a one piece headliner with cardboard under the headliner in the sail area. (headliner  goes over the cardboard) Legendary sells the correct headliner!!!!!!

You mean the headliner covers the cardboard but does not get glued to it.  Just so there is no confusion.  Originals were pulled tight in front of it and never glued down to the cardboard.

Yep box listed as a 68, but it was a '3' piece headliner (sails seperate), the one I pulled out was a one piece. I got it in though, looks pretty good, I'll post pics later.

I think the headliner was glued to the sides of the sail cardboard.

This is the correct way for gluing the sail panel tails to the board.I have installed many of these headliners in the past, and every one that I did was like that.
