Which came first, chicken or the egg???

OK, the question is: if you were wanting to put in new windshield rubber and also new upholstry including a headliner......which would you install first???

I think the headliner is held in by the window gaskets front and rear, so I'd put the headliner in first, then the new gaskets and glass.

The P-15 headliner isn't held in by the windshield or the rear glass. They are stapled to a hard fiber header that is held in place by bent tabs that are part of the body. I know because I had to replace this header piece when I did my headliner. If your header is deteriated you can buy some more at your local upholstery/glass shop.

Whatever you want to do first is the right thing to do.

But since you asked, I would put the windshield gasket in first to seal up the car, then you can take your time with the upholstery because it won't get damaged from a leaky window. What the hey,,,,,, do the backlight too.
