I've done 5 headliners myself over the years, it's really not that difficult at all, & people say they can't tell the difference
between my job & a proffesionals.
I also always use a velour headliner, I've done a vinyl one once & it's really difficult.
The most difficult & time consuming part is hand stiching the pillar matterial to the existing rubber strip thats on the pillars, just get a big
sewing needle from lindcraft, also get a few bags of wooden pegs while u are there to hold the headliner & glue to all the window frames &
thats pretty much all u need. U also have the satisfaction of saying u did your own headliner, whilst saving yourself some bucks
regards
Jak
Congratulations to Ben Durie for breaking the hillclimb record at Ringwood in his stroker beetle!

I've just done the vinyl lining on the 356, what a bloody nightmare. I had to fit it three times till I was happy with it then I glued it all.
Then I had to remove the glue in some areas and stretch here or relax there till I was happy with it
