@@SladesVWBeetle It is not too bad, it is really not the headliner that can be problematic, it is the cables, the gear, the setting up of the slider that can sometimes be a pain. But I cover it all in this series.
Chris Vallone Thanks for doing what you do! My sunroof is actually not closing the whole way, the back end is not raising closed the whole way. I’ll be watching for sure. But I watch all your vids
Hello Chris, this is a long shot but I'm trying to find the panel piece that you attach the fabric too. Any advice on where to find it or what its called?
Chris can you please help me. I need to remove my steel sunroof cause it is closed and stuck. All manuals say open half way to remove. Please help, can I remove the head liner panel with it closed so I can I hook cables? Let me know if I’m on right track cause I donor want to wreck headliner. Thanks for all you do.
Awesome video! I ordered new bows and spring clips but the bows are way too long. Do they all need to be custom cut or is there a specific length I need to cut them to?
Hope you guys enjoy this series on 1964 and later metal sunroof headliner installation.
Chris Vallone I have to install a new headliner in my 73 sunroof. I’m dreading it!!!

You have to be able to move it back a bit, it has to be away from the body line in order to drop it down.
Hey cris how do i put the bows in the springs ? Do they have to go in the springs and bihind ?
Yes the ends of the bow go in the spring hole.
What kind of glue do you use to tack down the patches and lap into the sunroof?
The 3M 90 spray adhesive
Hello Chris. Where can I find the metal sunroof for my vw beetle 1966?
may have to check a good used source, like ebay, thesamba.com or some FB VW groups.
I'm in the same boat, I need to find the metal roof and fabric panel as well.
What size did you cut the bows to?
Thanks! Great video!
Awesome video! I ordered new bows and spring clips but the bows are way too long. Do they all need to be custom cut or is there a specific length I need to cut them to?
Yeah I do remember the new bows being slightly too long, the originals should be like 44-44.5"
Thank you. I have been trying to find that information for months.
