Dart Headliner Installation Tech Help... Please!

neilskiw said

For my '70 Dart Swinger, 5 bow headliner...

Do I need to remove both the windshield and the rear window?

Can I get by without removing the rear window?

Are there any special how to videos?

Special words of wisdom? Vital information? Hostile insults?

Thanks to all!

Wear a hat! Bring garbage bags, shop vac. Old insulation nasty!!
Keep track of location of each bow rod.
Can do with windows in, just have a large bondo plastic blade ready for tucking.
Better to partially install in cool weather better for you but needs to be warm for final streatch.
I have only done 1 in ABodyBetty's 67. I still have to drop the sides again and trim back the "socks" that the bows slide into, so it can stretch further to sides to remove wrinkles. Not bad, Still driving it & showing!!
Good Luck!!
Might need to order new headliner insulation. I cheated & used pink panther from lowes leftovers, but do not recommend use in autos. In the long run it promotes rust if not vented. I peeled the paper off first. (very low budget but looks good!
