Head liner replacement help

Bryanaw40 · 21-03-2005, 16:59

Over a year ago, I removed the "carpet" style headliner from my new (to me) 1979 S2 9.2A to repair some core damage in the deck. The repair was successful but now I need to replace the headliner and I do not want to go back with the "fuzzy" stuff. I would like to use the foam back vinyl but am a little intimidated by the contours made by the coach roof in the area of the v-birth.

Anyone have any tips or tricks? The coach roof on the S2 has very defined corners that form the forward end of the coach roof. I have kept the old chunks of carpet to use as a pattern but believe the vinyl will install differently than the Carpet did. I suspect that the carpet liner might have been applied to the deck when it was still in the mold at the factory. This would have certainly been easier than the job I have ahead of me.

Thanks in advance for any tips!
