I'm going to install my first headliner 1965 Dart
My advice.
After you lay out the headliner in the sun, turn it over and find the middle. Mark it towards the front and rear. Next find the center of roof. Use the marjs on the headliner and center it.
Next when it says to measure up 1-1/2" on the bow pockets and make a slit, I would make it a generous 1-1/2". When I did mine, I didn't have enough of a slit so when I stretched the sides, it kept hitting the bow pocket and wasn't able to stretch.
Also, put all the bows in, hang them and then work front to back.
Those small binder clips worked wonders, to hold it in place.
Wherever you have a dome light or visor where screws go through the headliner, leave them in and when you're done you can feel through the headliner where they are and make a small slit with a razor blade where the screw head is. This allows you to reinstall the dome and visors cleanly.
Mine was my first time and it came out pretty good. I I had front and rear glass removed.
The glue I used was in a gallon and was put on by brush. My dad ordered it, I think it was commercial glue for linoleum floors.
