They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

But, I bet I'm wrong. Lets see what the pro's say !!!!! | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 96 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 96 | I think that the headliner is glued on to the ceiling, and the rubber is pressed on around it. Not really "retaining", as much as trimming. It's a pain in the arse to get in, too! | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | what vt said, except the rubber trim isn't too tough to get onto the metal lip if you run something like a right-angle screwdriver tip in the channel just ahead of where it's going on - also bend the rubber back a bit to keep the channel open - the headliner is contact cemented to the metal roof first
