'66 Coupe Headliner Replacement

[Rob V.]

Hi--

I just began the process of replacing the headliner in my '66 Coupe. I removed the old, original headliner, and it appears that it might have had some type of adhesive applied to the back of the headliner that was stuck to the roof.

Do I need to apply some type of adhesive to my new headliner; and if so, what type????

Thanks in advance for your responses!!!

i've not resorted to adhesives to secure the headliner panel to the ceiling of 66 and 67 coupes. the garnish mouldings will keep it in place. good luck,mike

Rob Do not wish to hyjack your post but when replacing the headliner on my 65, I found the original was a thick fiber glass insulation like material not like what I was replacing it with. My question is does the headliner need to be insulated before replacement headliner is installed? Kirby

Headliner material changed for '66-67 (foam backed vinyl) from that used in the '63-65 era (fiberboard material). So it's possible to wind up talking apples and oranges when we move across the years unless we're specific about the job at hand...
