Thanks - The headliner is one of those jobs at the bottom of the list, but if you take your time, its not rocket science and it can be very gratifying when done. Im not an expert but here's a few tips my wife and I use. When the headliner comes out of the box its wrinkled beyond belief. place it on your iron board upside down(white side), iron on low heat keep the iron moving in circular motion all wrinkles gone in 10 minutes. place all screws in there holes sticking out a bit so you can find them after its done. Hopefully you marked the holes that the bows came out of, put them back in the same holes. Measure for the center of the headliner and strike a line down it and measure the center of the bows, line all centers up with center of windshield and back glass opening. cut the listing strips about an 1.5 inches from the ends of the bows for them to stick out. Pick up 5 dozen large black binder clips as clamps, stretch,stretch, stretch. front to back, side to side. When all wrinkles are out peel off clamps five or six at a time and paint contact adhesive around perimeter car retainers and the material re-stretch and re clamp. 3M 1357 works well for me has a pretty quick set up time. One more thing vynal does shrink so slight wrinkles will come out with heat, but be very careful as the heat will cause shiny spots if held to long.
Hope the brakes worked out well for you. Thanks again- Rich
