    When I bought my car the headliner was gone except around all the seals. My question is how do you know which order the bows go in?

    Install the bows without the headliner and eye-ball it...

    Here's a dumb question....but I'm new so it's allowed.

    My headliner is actually very very nice in my new beast...but some jackass cut it...or so it looks. Just one cust about 8 inches or so...is there a way to repair rather than replace? Duct tape was my answer...but I'd paint it to match. :)

    actually yeah, the rear corner is messed up a bit....I just noticed, but the cut is in the passenger side, I guess someone thought it would be cool to cut it.

    no I’m sure it was not cut ...they tend to rip there ...its a tight point and over time it just splits ..looking like it had been cut......i have seen them glued back together ..but it wont be long it will not hold ..Dry rot sucks

    I installed my headliner all glass was out . I used the glue from the supply house the high tack stuff started in the middle and work my way right an left pulling it tight as you go an let the glue set up ( many clamps later ) . then going to the rear an repeat . Then to one side then the other always pulling it as tight as possable as you go . When the glue is set up use a heat gun ( hair dryer ) to shrink up the loose areas ( be careful not to
    much heat in one area you will melt the materal ) .

    I hope this helps jay
