STUPID! Headliner Question?

[Dfnsmn34]

Aloha,

I have a 71 duster that I'm thinking of changing the headliner in.

My question is~ How do you know how many bows your headliner is? 4, 5 and 6? Without removing the existing?

Can I just feel for the rods and count? Is it that simple? #-o
Does the amount of bows correspond with the amount of panels in the head liner?

Mahalo!:cheers:


(The headliner is in good shape, but in the back near the sail panels there are a couple of one inch holes). It only bothers me...everyone else thinks I'm stupid for even wanting to change it...](*,)

Which leads to another question. Do you think an uphostrey shop can/could fix a hole in a headliner?

See told you its STUPID!!! :dontknow:

Thanks for your input.

Count the seams, they should correspond to the number of ribs you have. A headliner could be repaired by a competent upholsterer if there was surplus material, but it would likely look like it was a repair.
