How to Install a Headliner in a 1970 Monte Carlo
A car headliner is the fabric which lines the entire roof of the car. Older cars, such as a 1970 Monte Carlo, will eventually succumb to a sagging headliner, causing a distraction to the driver while driving. The primary reason for this sagging is due to the glue which holds the roof and fabric together starting to wear away. Installing a new headliner to replace the sagging one in a 1970 Monte Carlo can be done relatively easy.
Instructions
- 1
Remove the two pairs of bolts in each corner of the Monte Carlo with a wrench. Removing these bolts will loosen the headliner making it easier to remove.
2Feed your fingers through the holes that have been opened up from removing the bolts and pull down on the headliner. Pulling with minimal pressure should remove the headliner without ripping or bending the old Monte Carlo headliner. Remove the headliner through the car door once loose.
3Scrub the exposed roof of the Monte Carlo with sandpaper. Scrubbing the old glue away will make it easier for the new headliner to stick to the roof.
4Spray a layer of adhesive glue all over the new headliner material. Gently press the new Monte Carlo headliner up against the roof. Push the middle and corners of the new headliner to prevent sagging from happening anytime soon.
5Trim the rim of the new headliner, if it overlaps on to the windows, with scissors. Screw the bolts back in to the holes in each corner with a wrench. You have finished installing a new headliner in your 1970 Monte Carlo.
