Re: American headliner

I took one out of a 67 Rogue. What a job that was. I would love to know if 
there is some trick to getting a used one in and out. The one I took out had 
a tag on the back saying the paper was made by Sealtest, the same people who 
were in the ice cream container or actually the ice cream business  years 
ago.  I think this is the major thing to overcome when restoring one of 
these back to an original look. Even cars that have good headliners they are 
dry rotted.
