How to install a new headliner
« on: October 12, 2012 - 09:44:40 PM »
Hi everyone.

Maybe, (like me), you would like to have a few tips how to install a new headliner in your Mopar. I found those two videos, (part 1 & 2), on you tube, from PUI. Hope you will like it. Enjoy...

Thanks Robert,
Perfect timing.  I'll be doing that in the near future.

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

I've started on mine. I thought it would be easy compared to the vinyl top, but it isn't. I threaded my bows and started to install it, but the bows sag in the middle like the headliner is too heavy or something. When I try to pull the slack out of theheadliner, it still sags. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Oh well.
