Default Re: Gramma's Car: the new project!

The 75's used a cardboard backed headliner with the fabric glued to it. (Not a full fabric headliner with steel bows like the earlier cars). I think they started that in 1973?

Like modern car headliners, the foam layer that's bonded to the fabric eventually deteriorates and one day you get in the car and the darn thing is touching your head. So I just bought new material and some spray headliner glue, pulled the cardboard backing out, attached the new headliner and reinstalled. It was very simple - about a hundred times easier than the old style fabric and bow headliners.
