    you need to pull the front and rear windows to do it right, i think you may be able to mickey mouse it in using a plastic bondo spreader if you cut it a little short....

    They are much like the early Mustangs. There are a number of how-to articles on the internet.

    Don't forget the 2 little hooks, that hold the rear bow in place.

    I have installed about 12-15 of these headliners over the years and it takes me a good 3-4 hours to get a good wrinkle free headliner. Being your first, expect at least twice that...if you want wrinkle free that is. As Joe said, take your time...because it will take plenty of it.
