Headliner……making my one piece abs headliner, wow! What a fight,,,,,ithoughit would bend easier, but no…..so putsome heat on the ends got it to curve enough to fit up in closer, got some screws in, and about to put a little heat in the corners to see if it will relax into shpe better, Couldnt order one, since roof was chopped and stretched…..

looks like you're getting a good start. i wonder if a U shaped metal channel along the edges would entice it to keep it's shape better along the edges. does heat work? bigger heat source needed to warm a larger area? would have to keep an eye out when doing that in case it sags.

Nice job on the custom headliner. I just did my firewall pad out of ABS and went through the same stuff you went through. I fought with mine because I used too small a heat gun (1300 watts). Your job was far trickier than mine as you were working overhead and you were forming compound curves.

Awesome work!

Skipp 99 would it have worked using th top of th cab to heat and let it settle down especially for the back corner?

I dont know, it might have helped, but i think it would have been too large

Ha ha...On all of my builds I always leave that for dead last for a few reasons.
1 - Its big money (in most cases)
2 - It is really important to the look of the vehicle.

Good luck
