I am getting ready to install a new headliner in my 31 Coupe. I recently purchased 17 ft of hard rubber 1/8 in thick x 1 in approximately from Mac's. A few years ago I purchased 16 ft of a canvas like material from Bratton's. I made 3 new roof ribs - 1 pine and 2 cherry. The cherry looks to be too hard to get staples in. So I have just ordered 4 new ash roof ribs. It appears that Bratton's wants their material to go on the top of the roof ribs and that seems correct. I expect to install the roof material I got from Classtique recently after I install the headliner.

My question is where on the roof rib does the 1/8 in thick hard rubber go and how should it be installed?

Thanks,
Vic
