Headliner is basically in! Thanks to all for your advice on what to look for as I went thru the install. It was a slow process as I stretched it out to a couple days. I only had a few hours a night to work on it. I would guess I had 8 hours or so on it. Its not perfect but Im very happy with it. The problem areas are definitely the sail area. I added some bubble insulation in the sail area. I thought maybe that would allow me to stretch the liner a little more but it made no difference. Here are some final pics of what I ended up with.
I think some of the wrinkles are because I cut the bow pockets just slightly to much on the last and next to last 2 bows. Also I didnt glue the liner to the sail boards but they werent glued there to start. I still plan on using a heat gun to try some additional wrinkle removal but I will wait until all the trim is in place first.
I plan to move on to the carpet next which will have the challenge of cutting for the roll bar legs and floor shifter.
I took the night off from working on it tonight to catch up on some R&R! lol
Thanks for following and as always comments and suggestions are welcome.
