    Suede headliners rock.

    Spent most of the day installing my new black suede headliner. It looks mightly nice.

    Started at 11:30am

    Removed

    rear seat
    rear side panels
    rear package tray
    seat belts
    rear windshield locking strips
    rear windshield
    rear windshield gasklet
    rear side windows
    front door gaskets
    front door sill plate
    sunroof headliner
    sunroof panel
    sunroof tracks and guides
    overhead visor panel

    Then I installed the bows into the new headliner and stuck it in place. Only took about 2 hours to stretch it into place and glue it into the window jams. Then I had to re-install all the above mentioned.

    Just finished up at 6:30pm.

    7 hours. Not too shabby. I'm tired though.

    Did I mention how awesome suede is? hehe.

          Knowing you, I had expected to see pictures when I opened the thread. Hmm. Can't wait to see how it looks.

              Sorry, the sun has started to set, plus its pouring rain and very cloudy. Not enough light for a reasonable picture. I need to use a lint brush and clean up the dust and fibers and junk that collected on it while installing.

                      Just make sure your seat is low then you have the "Soul Glow" in yo hair. It might take 3-4 people to get you out.

                                                  Everyone is scared of the work involved, so I didn't sell any.
