Have you installed a headliner in a 1950 Ford?

I finished up an interior on A 40 last month. Never removed the rear window.

 

Good info here. Thanks guys.

My 49 Shoebox didn’t come with the bows. Sourced them out & found that factory stamped each bow with a number at ends of bows. Pretty cool…genius move

Question: why is there 2 holes at each driver & passenger headliner mounting locations? Someone suspected the bows need a retainers clip? Can anyone confirm or debunk that please & thanks again

I can see old headliner material around rear window. It seems there’s a trim piece around rear window on inside of car that sandwiches the headliner between window opening & trim piece.

Question 2: Does that trim piece come off or do I shove the headliner in with a plastic putty knife as described to do over door openings?

 

RockinRivi-----Headliner is meant to go in before rear window. It can be done after rear glass is in but it is harder.

 

Scroll to the second page, about half way down for the headliner..
