Hello to you all. I am new to posting on this site, but I thought I would share something about the headliner install debacle.
I will be using the flight line interior from Abby. As many of you know it is difficult to get a good finished look around the windows.
Here is what I did: After carefully installing my headliner, trimming around edges, and then using a soldering iron to seal the edges. I used "Style Guard" Door trim, for automobiles, purchased from Pep Boys; 25' roll,(Black) I carefully put it around the window edges, using a putty knife to help it over the edge and keep the fabric from pushing out. I then used a heat gun to set the glue and it turned out beautiful. For the tight corners, I applied some heat to the trim to help it bend around. Once you do this, the glue will want to close up the trim, so again I just ran a putty knife between it to help it over the edge.
If anyone would like any further info, I would be happy to share what worked for me. I don't know if anyone else used this technique, but I am very pleased with the result.
