Hardtop Headliners

[Mark Ascher]

I should already know this - but don't. What holds the headliner in, or what trim is needed on the front, back and sides?
I can't remember.... I'm going to get this put in soon, and the upholstery guy as asking.

Mark - Here are some pics I took as I was tearing down. Wish now I took more. Hope they help. Might take another post based on file size.

Dwaine,

Awesome, that helps. The windlace covers the sides. I'm wondering now how the front & rear
are covered, if at all. I thought there was some plastic trim around the top and sides of the back window,
but can't recall now if anything is needed at the top of the windshield.

Pics of the front piece, but can't find the back trim. If I remember correctly they were simple rectangular shapes and has corner pieces on the bottom, or was it the top?? Well, maybe someone else has some pics of that area.

Dwaine & Dr,

Thanks for the pics - much appreciated!

One important note on the plastic trim.  At the time I bought mine, Year One was the only place that had it, and when I purchased the trim they advertise for the '65 Skylark, it didn't fit.  I think the two vertical pieces were too short and the bottom corner pieces were totally wrong.  I bought the trim they have for a '65 GTO and it fit perfect.  5 pieces in all--two bottom corner pieces, two top corner pieces, one long piece across the top, and two vertical pieces for the sides.   Just FYI, 2dr and 4 dr sedan cars have completely different inside rear window trim--they only use 3 pieces and the corners are made into the strips.

I will scrounge all the inside trim later and post some pics.

Found all the parts. Pictures coming today.

Here's what I found. There are seven pieces for the back window; a long piece at the top to cover the pinch weld, four corner pieces and two strips 18 inches long for the sides of the window.

There are at least three for the windshield. One long one for the top that covers the pinch weld; two metal corners that screw into the top of the a-pillar.

There are two long sections of windlace that cover the headliner and pinch weld along the side of the a-pillar, and run along the top sides to the bottom of the c-pillar.

I have two strips I can't seem to locate a place for. They're flat on both sides, about 9 inches long and have about a 60 degree cut on one end. Posting a pic next.

These.

I believe those 2 pieces go on the edge of the package tray where it meets the side panels.

That is correct--those slide over the edges of the package tray where it meets the headliner on the c-pillar.  If they are sun baked, all you have to do is flip them over and put them on the other side and you have a fresh new face showing.
