Is this true, and if so do you think it would work on my warped one. Another option I thought about was using a layer of fiberglass on one side or the other. I am planning on having it recoverd afterwards. Any thoughts Stuart http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sublime589/my_photos | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 85 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 85 | I don't know about amonia & water, but I know you'll need another pair of hands. It's a B****
trying to do it alone. The one I bought was from
Jim Carter. Had to trim,bend,push and pull, but
we got it to work. Came out ok for amatures.

I need to install the headliner in my 46 and I was thinking with this old noodle of mine about doing the water and amonia trick along with using the wifes steam iron. I was thinking about taping the headliner to a steel 35 gallon drum and using the steam iron to steam roll the bends into the headliner before installation without any wrinkles. I think this might work, has anybody tryed using the wifes steam iron, ya might have to sneak it out of the house, but what the heck it is a tool for wrinkles.

For $150 he made me a new headliner out of cardboard. Once the pieces were sown together it gave it the perfect curve, then he covered it with black headliner material. this price also included a piece to go in the panel behind the seat. It turned out realy nice | | |
