This week finalize how to install a hardtop or coupe headliner in a 1964 Fairlane Thunderbolt. Though we are installing this on a Fairlane, the tips will apply to most any Ford hardtop or coupe headliner install. We also give tips on what adhesive glue to use, why blow dryers are for more than hair and generally how to set up the car for a clean, trouble free install.

Glad we could help! Put the screws in the holes for the sun visors prior to installation. Yes we use the weatherstrip adhesive on any headliner install, even when installing things like the sail panels.

@ronschlorff7089 4 года назад

Lot's of respect for you guys doing a, not so easy as it looks, job on the headliner. Beautiful! Also respect for the resto upholstery guys today and those guys on the assembly lines, back in the day, when these cars were brand new, knocking out several a day!!

@AutoRestoMod 4 года назад

Not sure how they did it.

@PotteryGoddess 3 года назад

You guys are really helping me with my 66 Ranchero. thanks for doing this. Some of us can't afford a Motor-trend channel car show restoration.

@AutoRestoMod 3 года назад

We try and help as best we can!

@altops4490 2 года назад

i use contact cement, and any puckers will typically flee once trim, coat hanger, visors, etc are installed

@herbienbrian2 11 лет назад

boy that turned out great.

@AutoRestoMod 11 лет назад

True, usually when we use it people say "God Bless You."

@AutoRestoMod 11 лет назад

Good point Tom. Ford trimmed the headliner back from the edge, but left the headliner over the lip and onto the sealer surface. Here is how we think Ford did it: They laid a heavy bead on the perimeter of the opening, set the glass on the opening with the lower lip of the gasket on the opening lip then laid the glass down and used trim tools to pull the rest in. Messy, but effective. We may revisit this at some point down the road and show this method.

I liked your video it helped me a lot my headliner turned out great thanks a lot

Glad it helped

@williambirnbaum1501 5 лет назад

Thanks for the great video. I used a small portable hand held, steamer, rather than using a heat gun/hair drier. Did not have a hair drier...girlfriend took that with her when she moved out...LOL Also used old drop clothes, so not to drop any glue on the interior. Remember take notes....measure twice cut once !! Thanks JEFF.....

@AutoRestoMod 5 лет назад

Steamers are awesome, I use the hairdryer because it is a common item that most guys will have.

@AutoRestoMod 11 лет назад

Doug, sadly there is no way to do that. And we recommend just getting new gaskets and replacing the old ones. Check out our video on glass replacement to see how that is done.

@AutoRestoMod 11 лет назад

No the windshield is the first part to glue. Check out part one in Episode 95.

@TheBecky3582 11 лет назад

Thanks for the help! but the windshield is the last part to glue ?

@tomvolpone4586 11 лет назад

I notice that you wrap the headliner around the front/rear window flange. Wouldn't the material affect how the Butyl sealant interfaces between the flange and the window? Did you trim the headliner away from the seal surface to the window?

@dougitout2326 11 лет назад

I have a 65 Mustang. Is it possible to install the headliner without taking out the windshield and rear window? The thought of that makes me nervous.

@jeff95519 9 лет назад

on this car you said you need the rods in the same holes, when you did the Mustang Fastback you raised the rods to a higher hole for head clearance whats better? I'm about to put a headliner in my 1968 Mustang Coup

@AutoRestoMod 9 лет назад

Jeff Driver Hardtops in general will not need that extra room required by the fastback. However, if you were hitting the headliner prior to the install then you might want to move it up one set.

@renegadefive3 4 месяца назад

did you modify the tool 13 minutes in. got a headliner to put in me 65 ranchero, do you glue the wind lace in. tried to find yer fb page but no luck. tia

Is there going to be any big difference in a 63' 4 door 500? That's what I'm about to tackle! Thanks!

Doing a ming green one too.

@Milner62 5 лет назад

Is the yellow adhesive being used different than the stuff you pick up at the local auto part store? I ask cause the stuff Ive always bought by 3M was pure trash. Works great till the heat of the summer and it goes soft and cant even hold its own weight.

@AutoRestoMod 5 лет назад

Ehhhh never been my experience with the 3M weatherstrip adhesive.

What is the trim? doing a 67 comet

@AutoRestoMod 11 лет назад

Jeff goes on record saying that he does not wear a toupee. And besides, there is always toupee glue!

@RED-gv1js 4 года назад

great video but how would a person put the windlace in if they wanted to.

@AutoRestoMod 4 года назад

Not sure what you mean?

@RED-gv1js 4 года назад

@@AutoRestoMod I mean if I had this car and wanted to install the windlace how would I install it? Before the headliner or shove it in after. I understand the clips hold it but...

@falcondog6594 3 года назад

Does it matter what color the adhesive is (Black or yellow) or would it matter the color of the headliner ( black adhesive for black headliner and yellow for white headliners?).

@AutoRestoMod 3 года назад

It doesn't matter but it matters to me lol. Because if it's a black adhesive on a black headliner if it gets on the outside and I don't see it it's not as noticeable. Same with the yellow adhesive on the white headliner it'll be noticeable but not like black would.

@jevchance 11 лет назад

Selvage: thats a word I don't use everyday.

@stubby1122 2 года назад

What trim precisely are you using to hold the headliner in place with? Thanks.

@AutoRestoMod 2 года назад

We use 1965-70 Mustang door opening welt for holding the pieces in.

@ericeglish3948 6 лет назад

Did you not put the windlace back in?

@AutoRestoMod 6 лет назад

No. The car had no windlace and we weren't going to spend the money for some. Sorry!

@STACEYANDDEE 5 лет назад

The windlace has to go in first. I see where you didn't use anyon this car but from what I can see, it must be installed before the headliner tack strip.

@AutoRestoMod 5 лет назад

That might be. It's been a bit for that video. Episode 96 and we are at episode 393...LOL

@AutoRestoMod 9 лет назад

Bobby A, There won't be any difference. All the tips will be the same.

@ericwilliams8504 Год назад

Great videos.... well done.... one question, how are you ment to install your windlace after the head liner is in??? You want be able to squash the clips without ruining the liner... Do you poke the liner past the installed windlace??

@AutoRestoMod Год назад

The windlace goes over the teeth on the retainer strip like the headliner, and then the teeth are bent.

@ericwilliams8504 Год назад

@@AutoRestoMod mine has windlace clips behind the saw tooth headliner retainer strip....(from factory), so if you put the headliner in first, then you have no way of securing the windlace via the clips..... I just finished mine (clients car) just now,(hence me watching your awesome vids) and the headliner tucked up well with the windlace in its proper clips.... so I'm thinking its ment to be windlace first
