Quick how to on a headliner install for the 67 GTX. More to follow with visor, mirror, dome light, and trim installation. Thanks for watching and please like, comment, and subscribe 🤩🤩
I'm so glad you did a '67 GTX, my wife's 1st car is her "67 Belvedere 2 and I as a retired mechanic was the 1 to replace the headliner. You make it look easy and it wasn't hard, and the instruction saved a lot of time and kept me from missing things like those hooks at the rear that I might have forgotten. The only thing I did extra was replace the boards at the sail panels with new ones and spray a little water and use a heat gun to remove the smaller wrinkles, the sun on a hot day did very well to shrink the headliner too. The trim is definitely a tedious, but satisfying, and the trim inside at the windshield I epoxied because they were a little loose. It turned out great Thank You for giving me the confidence to tackle a headliner!
😊 very good! / I noticed the GTX has better lookin shark-teeth and there all the way around.. anyway my 70' Dodge Dart doesn't have them on the sides.... a strip of metal runs the side length but it's not as good as your car... mine didn't quite turn out as good as yours... 🤔
Oh, so that is where the clips go. I noticed in my Classic Industries Catalogue that they are saying you need clips for 66-70 but not for 71-74. I figured the clips were things that hold the top bows to the roof, but they hold the headliner fabric to the top bows and the tow bows to the roof. Can you tell me why some cars need them and some don't? I know you have both types of cars and seem pretty experienced with headliners. I checked my cars today and two of my 71 to 73 and newer cars need headliners.
The hooks in the back grab the bow, it's the starting point for the first bow. It goes around the very back one and as you pull forward, it keeps the other bows in line bc the fabric only allows it to go so far. Hope that makes sense. The headliner came from ebay, it came quick in 4 days for $80. Everyone else was on backorder for months. We are under the impression that all of the cars need those two starting hooks for the rear bow. Now we've done them on chargers, challengers, and barracudas up to 74 and they all have had those two hooks in the back other than the Grand Coupe Barracuda which has a headliner board that takes some modern style headliner cloth fabric, kind of like the newer cars have.
That's awesome! I just installed my very 1st headliner in my '72 Charger. It's not perfect but it's definitely better than it was!
Thank you! And that's awesome, they are not easy. Glad you conquered it, I'm sure it looks great!

Very cool it sounds like yours went pretty smooth! That’s awesome your wife still has her Belvedere and thank you very much for watching 👍
Kudos to you for knowing this stuff. I had my Road Runner for 21 years now and I think I'd still be VERY hesitant to do this myself. Great job!
Huge compliment, thank you!

when you say trim do you mean the chrome that runs along the length of the window opening,
Correct!
Nice video!
Thank you!
Good job

Also, where did you buy your headliner? It says "CGPC"...I guess it is the "perforated"?
Ok, it appears there are TWO types of clips... the ones that look like hog rings that you showed, and the ones that are silver rectangles.
