[beerslob]

i cant find any install info on how to install head liner . does it glue to the body in the front and back. didnt look like the old one was glued... thanks for any help

Did you try posting in the model A section? I'm fairly sure it is not glued.

Update: this post was in response to the original title being 29!

I did my ‘50. First time doing one and I’m happy with it but it’s not a restored car. Yes the front and back are glued. The back window has to come out along with the windshield trim. Iron the headliner first, replace the wind lace while your at it, trim the rod loops to tighten the sides and the A pillar pieces are glued also. Don’t let mice get in and make a nest staining it. Four mistakes I made while doing mine. This manual has decent directions.

There is some generic instructions on installing a headliner on YouTube. Check this site; www.acmeautoheadlining.com. They are major manufacturers of auto headliners for many makes and years of cars. They may be able to supply instructions.

thanks again for the help, i got most of it figured out except for the front inside a pillars does anything cover them? and the inside sail panels . does the headliner tack to the inner wheel houses i see tacks in them but no traces of headliner material in them. my front and back seals leaked for years and there wasnt anything left around the winshield and back glass

The headliner tucks under at the top corners of the windshield I think. Then pieces are glued with a good finish at the dash and mostly covered by the W/S trim. The sail panels are tacked ( I used staples) at the bottom by the package tray. This is all easy with the seats out......Mark
