The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors install new glass before headliner?

I've been reading about installing a headliner (seems pretty difficult) and there is always mention of slipping the headliner under the front glass gasket. If I'm planning on replacing the glass this summer, should I do that before putting in the headliner? Thanks in advance for any info or advice.

I haven't yet fitted a headliner to mine (a '50 3100) but was always under the impression it was secured/held at the front by the inner garnish mouldings,I wasn't aware the rubber actually overlapped it?
If it does,that's news to me.
I always thought the biggest issue was the door windlace rubbers which I believe DO overlap.

Someone will chime in soon with a definitive answer,hang tight!

The windshield rubber has no effect on the headliner.

I have a 54 3100 and just installed a new headliner. On the 54 new flexible windshield and cab windlace rubber is extremly important in installing headliner. My windshield and cab windlace in brand new. Was able to install the headliner under both but it was a pain. The windlace rubber flexibilty is way more important and i would think it easier to install headline first. Not mentioned anywhere is the trick i found by accident. Use the metal center headliner bow as a guide to trim the cardboard edges to correct side to side length. Yes, you do need to trim it and its a hairy scary one try deal. Even more important is to wait till AFTER the headliner is completely installed to cut the holes for the Passenger side visor. Go slow. Use the supplied pattern to find the approximate hole locations with a small sharp awl and the visor bracket to get correct locations.. Another one shot deal with disaster a half mm away at all times. Lastly the rear headliner section usually needs to be trimmed to fit as well. Ignore what the experts say. Take the excess off the front edge and not the rear with the screw cutouts. IMHO the repop liners are all poorly made and shipped. My first one broke in half after a week of gentile flexing. Being tightly rolled saves shipping but renders the product very difficult to work with.

I just installed a new windshield and new headliner in my 53 and these cardboard headliners are a real pain. The worst part I had was the trim above the doors and getting the cardboard fit behind it. The cardboard will crack easily and I ruined mine in one place pretty bad. That and the new cardboard is not prepunched for the sunvisors. And the metal strip that runs across the cab over the seat ended up slightly kinked and the paint chipped.
