Difficulties Installing ABS Headliner in 73 Swinger

The last post is only a month old so I figured I would chime in.
We bought the Rock Auto ABS headliner and it seems to be a pretty good match to the original in my son's 72 Duster. The directions suck. We slit the pleats a little SR77 it seemed to help it conform a little better. Did you ever get your's in?

We made our first run at it this evening, we were both a little tired but like was mentioned above, we figured we could just pop it right in. We soon realized that it was like trying to screw a greased football. :lol:

The best advice I've seen after reading this thread is from J-Par concerning the re-boot. That's why I am now in here surfing A-Bodies on my 3rd beer. My son and I both realized the reboot was needed when the language started getting a little heated. The interior is totally out of the car, so no excuse there.

We were close a couple of times to get it started but the upper body fatigue won out. I think the approach tomorrow after what we learned today is to get the rear window edge started then pin it with the dome light, then work the front edge under the windshield gasket. In retrospect I think we should have waited to install the windshield until after the headliner but that ***** ain't coming back out.

We'll get a good nights sleep and hit it again tomorrow. I'll post to this thread if we learn any secrets other than what has been mentioned here.
I'll tell you what held mine in was putting the two bolts for the seat belts on either side in and you can actually push it up there in a holding in there by those big holes for the seat belt bolts?
