Anyone have some step by steps as well as pictures involving a headliner replacement? I watched some youtube videos but looking at the headliner in my 58 imperial and how it may or may not attach is not the same as a muscle car era Camaro or mustang.

I'm sure the approach will be the same but I want to see some FL cars in the works. I also do not want to pull either windshield if at all possible. I read some threads here and it sounds possible.

Anyone care to share some pictures of a step by step they documented?

I am inclined to think the parts that hold the headliner in place as well as trim will be nearly identical in the FL cars other than some angles and dimensions.

Location: Lower Mainland BC		The training manuals on this (I have one) DO suggest that the windshield and back glass have to come out. I want to avoid that unless I can also justify replacing the rubbers at the same time (Chicken/egg). Apparently I have an unsourced windshield leak so that may be in the cards for me.

What I want to know is has anybody used these guys for headliners:

Location: Blackpool, United Kingdom.		If it is the same as other forward looks of same vintage you could do it with glass still in place , but you would be restricted to working inside vehicle, after removing the inside mouldings from around the screens and roof , the headliner would be glued to the rear inside roof support then pulled towards the front , the front support has triangle shaped spikes to pierce and hold the headliner in place, then you would need to work the material to the sides of car, you might need to be a bit of a contortionist but could be done.
