Hi 70 rtse. Do you have the 3 piece headliner board for the rt/se?  Here's some pics of ours...if you haven't gone to the site yet.

Rev, did Red and you change the material that the console is covered with? or did the console come with it? Just asking because I know my console is covered in the same material as the headliner and wasnt aware of it coming another way.

We changed it to match the visors.  It was a pain to do, but it turned out pretty nice, imo.

Thanks!  I would imagine it would be extremely difficult to make the headliner board.  It is made out of hard molded board.  It is curved to match the roof and side panels of the car. As far as finding them, they are pretty scarce.  MikeTyler, on the board, just finished installing a regular headliner in their car, then mounted the overhead console to that.  It turned out very nice.  Here is the thread...and a pic.  http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=8326.30

The headliner board goes covers the entire roof up to about 1/2" to each edge.  The rest is covered with all the trim pieces.  The main board is held in place by the overhead console, sun visors, rearview mirror and coat hooks in the rear.  The two side panels were held on by a hook and clip in between the board and the side part of the roof.  That part was a little tricky.  Here is a pic of our roof before we put the headliner on...

rev one of my coat hooks is loose (spins)...what would cause that and how would you suggest I fix it?
I admit I haven't looked closely at it...is it a screw through it ?  :dunno:

There is a cap covering a screw. Just flip the cap, tighten it, and voila its fixed ;)
