@urinalturd While we don't do Mustang parts any more, good luck! Headliners are tough and if you're patient and handy you should be able to do this on your own. Make sure you have a heat gun and be super-careful with it so you don't burn your headliner!
What a terrific video! Just one quick question though - the headlining in my car wasn't installed properly - it's all droopy between the bows/hangers - is it more likely to be because glue is meant to hold the fabric up between the bows/hangers, and the glue wasn't strong enough, or is it due to a lack of tension between the bows/hangers, as the bows/hangers weren't placed close enough together? :)
Hi! First of all, Thank You very much for showing all these tutorials here on youtube. Im not from the US, so its a little bit complicated for me to call You. My question about Your Tutorial on installing a new Headliner is, what kind of glue do You use? Because the glue i guess has to resist very hot summer temperatures and even quite cold temperatures in winter. And even in a normal day the temperature can raise and lower quite often. Normal glue wont work right? Greetings from Germany
Typically if this type of headliner is drooping its because the seams that hold onto the metal bows have let go, or the material has stretched (less likely). If you had a board-type headliner (no metal bows) then you would be correct about the glue.
On the final part of the headliner install process... the headliner edge trim seems to be hard to find... do you offer edge trim for vehicles? 1970 Nova has edge trim pieces but they seem difficult to obtain?
Mark Alan PUI does not manufacture any hard parts like this. Were I restoring a Nova I'd ask a retailer specializing in Novas. Those retailers generally have forgotten more about their chosen specialty than we will ever know and that makes them a valuable resource when restoring a Muscle Car.
THANK You!!~ The headliner needs replacing in my 65 mustang and i couldn't find any decent video to get an idea how its done until i found this.
Thanks a lot for posting these videos!! No place in our area does this work, so we are going to tackle it on our 66 Coronet.
