[@darronbutler6190]

Nice work, keep the Ghia videos coming!

Another great How-To video from the crew @ JBugs!

[@Sam_Mebane]

Hooray, another headliner video!

[@johnwarfn]

That was an awesome video. Big help for my project.

Thank you.

[@Sam_Mebane]

Hey @RYOBITOOLSUSA how about a hand with some of these tools we're using in our videos?

[@SteveBlack-kj3pm]

Buen video. Saludos

[@GT.Bugger]

Please start shipping to the UK! I really want one of your headliners. No one else does them

[@Sam_Mebane]

They aren't "our" headliners, they are made by TMI. You might try contacting them to see if they have a UK supplier - or, a quick Google search gives this - www.heritagepartscentre.com/uk/tmi-interiors

[@GT.Bugger]

@@Sam_Mebane they only offer very limited selection.

[@Sam_Mebane]

@@GT.Bugger they offer the same one we installed here - www.heritagepartscentre.com/uk/201510-headliner-in-single-colour-vinyl-with-perforated-or-crush-finish-for-coupe-model.html Between the shipping costs and the logistics, there is no way we can ship overseas effectively, for a fair price. If nothing else, try contacting TMI directly.

CSP-Shop and Hoffmann Speedster both offer (I think) TMI Headliners. Got mine from them, fit perfect in my 72.

Great job & video

Your video was really helpful in helping me tackle my ‘69 Ghia headliner. Thank you! Question: when putting window to body trim back on where it captures the headliner, how did you deal with the locations where the rib pocket fabric thickness seems to be too thick to let the trim get a good seal on the body…and I’m afraid to cut it for fear it’ll create some future issue with headliner. Do you have any advice? Thanks in advance.

[@Sam_Mebane]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bavIoqh_l8qGftU - we just released this video last Friday, I just laid the rubber and trim over the seam and installed the seal. Unless you have a really thick vinyl, I wouldn't do anything. If you do have extra thick material, I would perhaps cautiously cut the underlying piece of material up to the edge of the seal and trim piece.

Yeah, DONT use a solo cup like the guy in the video, glue will melt your cup quickly and you will be cleaning a huge mess on your hood and fender where you set the cup while attaching material, then will lose so much glue you don’t have enough to finish your install and will have to find glue locally.😡

[@Sam_Mebane]

Yep, that's why I (the guy in the video) switched out to a metal can! We haven't offered the headliner glue in over a year so you'll have to order or find it locally regardless nowadays.

😂well, it's not that simple to install a headliner in a Ghia.

[@Sam_Mebane]

I didn't say it was simple, but it is doable. I'm not an upholsterer, and I did it. This was the first Ghia headliner I installed.
