Projects 59 Edsel windlace

The previous owner of my car had already restored the headliner and kickpanels but they left out the windlace. Is there a way to install the windlace without removing all the headliner and kickpanels? I really don't want to mess up something that is already finished.

thanks in advance

 

No good way to do that...windlace shoulod go in first

 

I was afraid of that.

 

You would not have to remove the whole headliner. You would have to carefully untuck the parts over the doors so that you can take out the screws holding in the toothed part. But I have replaced widlace without doing that. If you can tuck the part over the doors and only remove the kick panels and the center door and the part by the rear doors ,and install those as orig.

 

thanks, thats what I'm going to try I guess, not looking forward to this one
