Yeah, all those posts about headliner installation being challenging and also suggesting you have a helper are all true, true, true. So I purchased a headliner from Chevy Classic Parts, part number 21-457. Read the Tech tip ( good article by the way). Read several other bolters post on headliners. Laid the pieces out and weighted them down for a week to flatten them out, attached them to the center bow ( per tech tip and others recommendations) used gorilla tape to secure both halves and then had my grandson help me position and "install" the sides under the cab windlace. What a chore that was. Thankfully the front window and window seal are not installed , so that helped. The headliner had gaps, photo's below. Very unhappy with quality of the product. I suppose I should have purchased from one of the other suppliers whose product detail says that their headliner " set is manufactured with fiberboard and die stamped from original GM patterns. Headliners are embossed and coated brown. Made in the USA!" ? Anyone have any suggestions or can report where they got their headliner that "fits" ? Guess I can chalk that up to trial run, lessons learned, excuse for Crown Royal on the rocks................
