I recently saw a video of how line workers installed a vinyl top. I think it was in an AMC plant. They made it look super easy. I couldn't believe how fast they got it done. It would be interesting to see how quickly the line workers were able to get the headliners installed.

This may be it.  AMC vinyl top install with free disco.  Time 6:42

Please let me know if it is better to reply to old posts or start something new

Trying to put in new headliner, actually Cindy is doing most of the inside stuff, and we were doing great (should have read screw hint earlier) until she got to the sail panel area.  She says nothing feels or looks right.  If she hooks around window area and then tries to pull sides it unhooks up by window

Did any of you make a video by chance?  step by step photos?

We thought the headliner was one part we wouldn't have to change as it was a new one and looked great.  I was feeling for the seat belt bolt holes and found a dead MOUSE so it had to go! (car had been stored in a shed for 11 years Headliner was only interior part in it)

I made the mistake of not putting a bolt in for the shoulder belt, now I'm studying pics of body shells and guessing where to poke a hole in my new headliner!

Yeah, I noticed that too about no respirator, makes you wonder how their health was later on breathing in all those paint fumes. Fantastic video.

I tried the link to Restorick's info on headliners but got a server error message.   Does anyone happen to have a copy of what he posted?   Or do I have to have a username and password for his site to access the info?

I'd like to know this myself, even though I'd probably not attempt it.
