Episode 95 Ford hardtop coupe bow style headliner for Fairlane Mustang Cougar Falcon Autorestomod 

Hey fellas...did my 69 Elco and came out very nice for my first time. Never did one before...took about 6 hours...start to finish. Friends had no faith !! Having good lighting is important. Common sense...measure twice...cut once. Pay attention to details and take notes...this vid is spot on..... The install is similar, put a bit different for a chevy, but you get several great helpful ideas how you can DIY. Saved $300 bucks... Now I am an expert !!! LOL Thanks for the education.

Subscribed...thanks soooo much this video saved me $350 what an awsome channel!!!!!

Just starting a headliner on a 63 2dr hdtp. This video helped, even though its a 2dr post. Like all the Thunderbolts. Thank You!!!

Good stuff. Must bookmark. -John

Hi guys, I just wanted to say that your channel is awesome!!! I think that what you’re doing can help everyone accomplish things that they would never think about doing... So, keep up the good work. You guys keep it real🙂

Interesting video. How ever I do not believe it will be remotely the same for me when I go to do the headliner in my '56 Fairlane Town Sedan.

If you are doing a Fastback (body 63) they are from the windshield back: position 1: blue/blue position 2: blue/brown position 3: blue/green position 4: blue/black position 5: blue/bronze. If you are doing a hardtop (coupe: Body 65) they are from the windshield back: position 1: red/red position 2: red/blue position 3: red/brown position 4: red/purple position 5: red/green. We recommend a set of the Jim Osborne Assembly manuals Wiz, they will help a ton in reassembly of the car.

Fantastic... Thank you

Great video!! I have a 57 Thunderbird that needs a headliner, hardtop convertible. Should I leave the top on for headliner install, or remove it and do it out-of-car? Appreciate your input, keep up the great work!!

Thanks!! Do you guys put the fiberglass batting back up there too? I'm hesitant because of moisture retention. What??? You mean I can't re-assemble a car by memory after a year?

i have a 65 ranchero how do you attach the headliner by the doors and how do you fit the windlace. it all looks very different to doing a 60s triumph where it would be glued to the door frame and the furflex pushed onto the door frame. i'm in the uk

hmmm. so when I removed my '68 Torino roof bows, I didn't pay attention to the color coordination. Any thoughts on how to not mess up the re-installation?

Well I had the rear glass removed already, hoped I could get away with it without having to do the front. I've got a nice original comet headliner that my grandpa swiped from a salvage yard in the 70's, maybe someday when the budget and time calls for it.

Ah, I see. Thanks for answering.

Would like to see headliner installed in a 1964 falcon hardtop ,they are different than a mustang.. Thanks

Yes, and were this our car we would have. The owner was not really interested in doing that as the car is for sale. BUT were it our car we would have used both the Lizard Skin Sound control and the heat barrier to keep it cooler and quieter in the car.

Also need to remove the rear glass Herbie...

yeah Wiz, re-install the fiberglass batting. Moister is not an issue under the roof. LOL you CAN reassemble it by memory if your memory is as sharp as ours...what was your name again? =)

How many tubes of adhesive did you need for the complete headliner install? and 2.) did you have to cut a couple of slots in the rear listing for the 2 wires to hook onto the the rear bow? Thanks.

im instaling a headliner into a 65 falcon do i have to remove windshield and back window

been looking everwhere for this I bought a 66 Fairlane and the headliners bow were already out and my manual says different colors then what I have do u know what colors go where all on 1 side is yellow then I have bronze red white blue and yellow on the other side

very interesting and informative as always. Do I have to have the front windshield removed on my 65 Falcon to do this?

I will be attempting/glueing my first headliner on my 1967 Falcon 2 door sedan in the next few days. After watching many of your AWESOME videos over and over will it be ok to glue the front center windshield section first, and then letting it dry completely (at least a whole day of drying) before moving on to the front left and front right sections ? Will this help me out before tackling the other sections ? Or better to fully glue the entire front section all at once before moving on ? Thanks.

I have a 58 Ford fairlane. Is it necessary to take the front and back windshields out to install?

Great video! Thanks for posting. I understand why a thick, heavy sound deadening material is not an option, but I'm wondering why you didn't spray Lizardskin on the underside of the roof. That should bring the noise down without adding noticeable weight, no?

Is there any way to install headliner in 63 galaxie without removing windshields???

Hello I have a 1963 falcon sprint do you do the headliner. If so about how much and where are you from

We'll say this, the original would be fine BUT the threads are probably weak and there isn't going to be enough extra material (called slevage) to allow you to pull the headliner tight. Save your money and snag a new one from NPD. You'll be happier with the results

How many bows should a 65 fairlane have.

That is the true bummer to any 1960s and early '70s Ford headliner. The windshield has to come out; we've seen where people have tried to do the headliner without removal and it ain't pretty. Worse are the cars that have a glue in windshield, it is nearly impossible to remove the glass without breaking it.

wondering how the factory put them in so fast....repetition I guess

This is an excellent video,...………...…. to demonstrate that sometimes it ain't worth the effort, unless you have a bitchin' car like a T-bolt of course. If bare, of course you have to do it, but not to replace a mildly damaged one. Need to do this with All glass out, so mostly done early on serious restos, not a DIY nicety on an existing driver. I have a few rips at the back end of my 67 Cyclone's HL near package tray, but mostly ok and tight elsewhere, so I'm not taking glass out to do properly. So if you have a few mouse chew holes or ones made by some dude's GF's high heels or sharp toenails, ripping it slightly over the back seat, from a pretty common "nice episode" back in the good 'ol days of the 60's, best to live with those, thereby adding a piece of "interesting conversation" to your ride!! ;D

Dang, I was afraid of that. :/ bare roof it is then.

Dudes can’t have wives... there’d be no time to do this 😂

Too much bullshitting just do the work
