Headliner

67stang347 · 05-01-2007, 06:52 AM

How big of a job is it to relpace the Headliner in a '67.

never done one, but it doesn't look too hard.
remove windlace and other trim, it just glues around edges and tucks in around the front and back windows. Don't get the crossbars mixed up. They slide in sewed sleeves on the backside and snap into the areas above the door windows.

I will personally attempt it in my 65, but that will be years from now at the best.

Just be very careful with the cardboard that you would use to put to put your new fabric on. Or you can also use duct tape to repair the existing cardboard. You need to have patience. especially with the adhesive, it dries pretty fast. Thats why time needs to be taken.

There is no cardboard backing in the older Mustangs that the headliner is glued to. Its stretched between crossbars with clips and adhesive.

Thanks

keg65 · 05-31-2007, 12:07 AM

did you get it done?

67stang347 · 05-31-2007, 01:42 PM

No, I got all the parts, but just alittle nervous about pulling the windows out.
Also got side tracked on the new motor.

keg65 · 06-01-2007, 12:11 PM

you don't have to pull the windows out do you?
Can't you just tuck and glue under the weather stripping?

If not, windshield and rear glass aren't too bad and it might also be a good time for some new weatherstriping

what motor?? bigger better? or just replacing

67stang347 · 06-01-2007, 02:23 PM

All the instructions I found say the windows have to come out. The rubber gasket that covers the edges around the windows on the inside is what is throwing me. I'm going to look at it closer the weekend.
The 347 is being replace with a 427. Had to pull the 347 and put the worked over 289 in for now. I needed to sen the (347) Man- o War block to my friend to he could do the work. I'll pick it up in October when I go back to Pittsburgh PA to hunt.

keg65 · 06-04-2007, 11:18 AM

jealous!!
I want a 427 Windsor too, but my 65 is far far from any engine going in it.

keg65 · 06-05-2007, 12:58 PM

The headliner in my car and my friend's car were both just tucked in and glued behind the rubber weatherstriping.

Now on mine, I will put it in like the original, before the glass, but only because I already have all the glass out and it needed all new weatherstriping as well as a windshield.

My car is a pile

67stang347 · 06-05-2007, 02:10 PM

Mine goes behind the gasket/ weatherstriping then under the window glass. The headliner appeares to be glued on the lip where glass sits.

keg65 · 06-05-2007, 02:19 PM

Right, as original. That is the proper way, but the other way works too.
The headliner glues on the outside of the lip that the window weatherstriping goes around.

Mine had been replaced before I got it, when I took it out, I noticed it was just tucked and glued on the inside of the lip and under the weatherstriping Seemed to work well, it never came loose. But the previous owner did a red velour(sp) interior, as well as the headliner. So it all had to go. I will be replacing it with a stock type interior and headliner.

Ok I see now. As you can tell I'm no interior guy. I was worried that it would not stick or have a twist in it. The the cage should help hold it up as the glue dries. I avg about 80% of the time breaking the glass when taking it out.

Use a piece of piano wire or a guitar string as a saw to cut the weatherstrip to get the glass out. It always works good for me. I see the glass guy at work use a sawzall to cut the weatherstrip but he is a professional.
