Headliner (Eastwood)

My headliner is being installed tomorrow and I decided to have them install the Eastwood Theromomat stuff between it and the roof. One of the Mustang restoration companies (not one of ours on here) suggested against doing this. They said in high heat it could detach and fall down on the liner (and cause damage). Any thoughts?

I used the eastwood stuff in my car. Not on the roof. I used it in the doors and floor and its still sticking good after 4 years. It sticks really well,but it has to be very clean. No rust or old fabric. Has to seal to the roof very well if you use it up there. Make sure you roll it in very well to get it to adhere.

I have no experience with that but do know that under hood insulation is held in place by those plastic push pins. I wouldn't trust anything to stick to an upside down frying pan. Did MM suggest an alternative?

Standard insulation (which I do own).

I think Eric found a way to put Rammat up there somehow.

Boy I am in the wrong business. These little pirates want to be paid in gold for the install. Geez!

They've been working on it for about 3 hours.

The headliner does look great.

Jeremy, I hope they are not done in that picture

It looks like you are missing a bow behind the dome light ???

Might be missing 2 or 3 bows

Also don't see the toothed metal hooks on the roof to quarter panel area.

They missed some bows

The metal / hook strip is there in your picture

It runs in the area where the headliner meets the sail panels

I'm hoping the body shop didn't remove these items to clean / blast the rust and not put them back in ??

+1 to what Don said...you should be able to see the bows clearly, like the front two in your picture. And the tack strips (toothy metal pieces) are important to keep the rear of the headliner in place.

the picture is bad by the looks of it, to me

Don,

I can see three bows behind the light and one in front of the light. The glare on the picture makes it hard to see but if you look to the passenger side, you can see the invention of the bows. The glare on the driver's side is making it hard to see. I will see if I can get a better pic Monday. As for the other, I am not sure about it.


Here is all three pics I took on Friday. One shows 2 bows in front of the light and 3 behind it. Is this correct?



Sorry for the bad pics. The light was making it hard.

That's better. That first pic made it really hard to see them. Do you have the tack strips installed?

Should be there. They were finishing up when I left. I will check when I go back.

Yes I can see them in this pic

Sorry could not see them at all in the first one

No problem Don. I appreciate you guys helping me keep my eyes open. I was in a hurry to leave town, but I almost stroked when you pointed it out.

From my phone I could not see it either.

Hello Texas !

I did mine last week - this is how it looks.

The jaw teeth are at the very end in the rear arounf the rear window.

The headlining is folded over the teeth do you cannot actually see them...

here's a photo
