[T3] Headliner install guy

[Bryon Garvin]

Well, there's the stomach ache I was hoping to avoid today.

I simply don't trust myself to do this right.  I had that feeling
going into it and now with you, Jim, saying you had a tough
time.....well, that doesn't bode well for how it might turn out if I
tried it.

I do have all new and correct rubber for the windows, I believe.  I
did enough research and got the right front window seal with the right
lip like Keith mentioned.

I have a glass guy that can do the glass.  If I got someone to do the
headliner, does the glass guy have to be right there to finish that
job or can you install a headliner and then the next day the glass guy
comes and does his part?
