Hardtop Headliner Installation

[Warren]

So what do you think about the stuff they sell at Home Depot.
It's basically a foil back roofing membrane. I was also wondering if on the later hardtop it seems like my numbers have gotten messed up. I made the mistake of numbering the headliner rods on masking tape and now they faded so I can't tell which one goes where.

Warren, I can tell you what colors go where if you have any of the colors left?

Don't know about the Home Depot stuff, but I used Fatmat on my car. It was less than half the cost of Dynamat, used two layers and there is nothing wrong with it. Still sticking after 10 years. I would be willing to lay this onto a top, heat and press home by hand. It really has a grip.

George...It may be...maybe that is why the center clips don't fit it. I hadn't thought about that. I finished it, and did all but the rear chrome and those two clips.

VERY nice work. The finished product looks great. Thanks for the pictures, they help understand the process.

Dan, that is a deal. See you there. I owe you.
Thanks for the info on the A/C as well.

Dan, sure I did find a set with colors so that'd be a help to know what went where. It's a which forum did I see that on in the ol grey matter...

Mine came out of a rusty hardtop and they all have the same color. I still have to paint my top,
so it'll be a while before I put my headliner in. I never looked at them ( other than to put
them on a shelf) so never noticed that they were different sizes. Does anyone have the size , I
guess it would be length, that corresponds with the colors?
Thanks!

I think I have the lengths also....

I have two green ones .... Must have been another Q.C. issue at the factory .
