Had a good weekend tinkering around on the project. Installed the headliner on Saturday morning. It was a fight for sure. The clips on the cheap plastic chrome trim don't want to stay in the slots. Most of them keep popping back out due to the thickness of the headliner. Plan B. Don't know what Plan B is, but I've got to come up with one. I use some windshield caulk to stick it up there. Put a little velcro in place to hold it up until the black gunk set up.

I also decided to test fit the glove box door to make sure I didn't have issues. I also needed something to work on that I thought was a win after the headliner. Of course, this has to come back off to finish up the under dash fun (see next post).
