Very nice work on the headliner. When I was completing my hardtop I decided to use a black headliner foam material and cut it from a single piece, the goal was no seams. I painstakingly applied glue in sections , clamped and stretched ….repeat. Now note that I have never ever made a headliner before this attempt. My gallery shows the results. It turn out just average since I was unable to avoid wrinkles in the back corners using 1 piece. I’m convinced my process was flawed. Thankfully when the top is on since it’s black , and in a shadow , the wrinkles are hard to see. But I know they’re there. So I can appreciate this craftsmanship. Nice. Oh and my rear window install left my fingers bruised and battered but it’s been in now for 3 years and hasn’t blown out with 80 mph highway driving. Yet.
