1969 Camaro Headliner
 
I have done 4 headliners in 69s and they all were PUI and they have had the same issue.on the last bow to the rear the material has a bad area in the center and just wondering if anyone knows of any better brands that have better quality?

I just did one over the weekend and had a similar issue. I am pretty certain the issue is with the listing being too loose. It will not let you pull an even stretch. Steamer helps alot, but still had a small wrinkle when I finished.

thanks,I hate that you had the same issue,it just wont let you pull the last section tight enough and leaves that spot in the center,could be worse but I really want a nice job

We manufacture Camaro headliners. All of ours are made here in the USA, about 50 feet from my desk. :)

We've been selling them for quite a few years and I've never heard the issue that you're dealing with. Sounds like their patten is off just a little bit.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
