Is your headliner already in place? I've not done a SE headliner, but when I do a normal headliner I put the screws in place before I put the headliner in. That way I can feel where they need to go, make a small cut to access them and take them out and immediately put the belts, coat hooks, belt holders and sun visor in place.
The only other way I can think of would be to measure a car that does not have a headliner in and then transfer the placement to yours. :notsure:
You can also try poking a tiny wire or needle through the headliner to find the bolt holes? :dunno:
The headliner is already installed. I will try a needle and see if I can feel threads for the bolts. The picture will help a lot! Thanks!
I would take the inside drip rail molding off and drop the cardboard down a bit to see the and poke the holes from the backside :alan2cents:
Maybe these help a bit too.

That's a good idea! I can also see what other stuff they might have done/removed/etc.
Great photos!!!! Thanks headjm.
Do the SE headliners use the same rods as normal Challengers?
SE headliners don't use rods silly :drunk:
Your headliner seems to be in good condition but if looking for other types these may or may not be options.
OEM is cardboard like material as opposed to plastic or fiberglass that these are.
They may be out of business but worth a try because they seem to be more like modern headliners.

Dayclona pic included
Maybe someone here can make them!
I have one of Dayclona's headliners - it's a very well made piece. For those on the East cost, it's fairly inexpensive at $250, shipping anywhere outside of MA (where Dayclona lives) increases the further it needs to go - It would have cost me over $200 to ship it to Portland, OR.
I used one of Dayclona's as well and it worked great. For me i supported it with boxes inside the car until I got shoulder harness bolts in to locate it. You should have no problem.

That looks like a clean install.
I personally find the SE headliners with overhead consoles to be what all e-bodies should have come with.
Good for you, can you run them around the front clip and tuck them into the back clip?
No. They are too short to run around the front clip and tuck them into the back clip. Running them like that is how I remember them.
