No problem at all :thumbsup:.  As for as tips go I measured the center of the roof at the front and below the rear window and drew a line from front to back.  Then measured the center of the vinyl top and drew a center line also. Then positioned the top on the roof to figure out where it should be front to back.I used a pair of vise grips with some wood pieces to attach the top to the windshield pinch weld once I was satisfied with the position. Next I applied a narrow strip of glue down the lines I drew on the top and the roof. Once the glue tacked I started at the front, lined the two lines up pressing down as I went. Once the center was attached I worked one side of the roof at a time only working a 1/4 section at a time.  You need to work below the rear window at the same time you are working the roof if not you may have wrinkles that can not be fixed. I just kept pulling and stretching the material to the side windows and eventually you will run out of metal to stick to.  Make sure that the seams are going to be equal distances from the edges of the roof and where they pass by the rear window.

Hello everyone I need a little help. :wave: I am getting ready to install my headliner and I think I am missing a few brackets that go on before the headliner is installed.  It looks like there are four brackets that the shoulder belt clips attatch to? Are there any other brackets that I need? Do the coat hangers have a bracket also? Here is a picture of the shoulder clip brackets.

Thanks!
