[T3] Headliner

[Keith Park]

I think Dave Pallo might have done a writeup on it, he helped me.  I don't
use the clamps, or many of them anyway, I used extra door welting to hold it
in place along the seams till the glue dries.  I don't use the spray
adhesive eather, it makes too much of a mess, I use the brush on, the gel,
the FLAMMABLE gel... don't bother with the non flammable stuff.

Just my 2 cents...  mine got better the more I did.

You need a bunch of those metal office spring clip things (like 200 or so),
a lot of time, and a lot of patience (don't get in a hurry). Also use 3M
spray  glue, rather than generic contact adhesive, as it works better for
headliners. I  think Mark Witwicki (W1K1 on the Samba) did a great job of
doing a 65 Squareback  headliner, as did Brent, on his 69 Fastback. You
might want to do search of  those 2 projects, to help get some ideas. 
 
And yes, it is a hard job, as you need ALL of the stuff I mentioned above). 
 I'd rather repack CV's or do something else than do a headliner. :O

OK that's kind of what I thought.  Not point in dreading it got to be done.
