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.

I've got my '69 all apart, and the headliner basically fell apart when I took it off. I know there was an effort a few yrs ago to have them reproduced; anyone know anything about that?

I was thinking if repro isn't available (and I don't think it is), and I can't find a good used (how would ya ship something like that?), I could use the modern type of headliner that is pressed cardboard with a felt cloth covering in the appropriate color. I'll bet some junkyard scavenging would come up with one that's close enough.

Anyone know about having a custom one made?
