Joe Flanagan Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 I was looking at the tack strips for the windlace in my car and I notice that they did not use tack strips above the doors. Instead, it looks like the windlace was pinned underneath the metal pieces that the headliner attaches to. But I can't see exactly how they did it. Under the metal pieces, the sheet metal has pointed pieces that can be bent back and forth. Do you attach the windlace to these and then put the metal piece over it when the headliner goes in? I'd like to try and get my windlace installed this weekend and I hope I don't have to do the headliner at the same time. 1 Quote

Brandon S Posted September 28, 2013 Report Posted September 28, 2013 Joe, Did you figure this out- just got a patterned headliner in today and going to try this as a weekend project (yeah right). Got the metal pieces above the doors but I'm starting with a totally gutted car with nothing to base on....thanks. Pics would be fantastic! Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted September 28, 2013 Author Report Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) Hi Brandon, Yeah, the windlace goes in first. The metal pieces go on top of the windlace in the areas above the windows where there is no tack strip. The headliner gets tucked up behind the metal pieces and hooked into the little metal teeth. It's a good idea to look closely at all the teeth and make sure they're not bent. I was surprised how many of mine were. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.
