Yes... But the rear window trim can be tricky, which is why the SE has a window plug & a big interior trim bezel...Lotta hard to find & expensive parts to make it work....

Is have the SE headliner in mine and when working on reinstalling, I did not have the rear window trim. So I had some hardboard, made a frame so,to,speak ,glued some foam to,it and then covered it with the same material that I used for the headliner. I have pics on the PC and will,post,some tomorrow. The material,came from Stock Interiors in SC.  Black.

Did you make a new trim piece out of cardboard or just a piece to cover the space that was left between the original trim and headliner?

Yes, but you were using the SE rear window, not sure eck is planning to use the SE window plug.... If he is I know a guy with a complete one including the inside trim....

I'm using standard rear window no plug. Trying to see if it's doable because shes already painted.want a suede head liner to match my seats but they don't make one for the bow style.

Pictures definetly help thank you. Looks like the headliner comes right up to the standard window opening and the extended trim just covers the plug portion?
