I Need your  help with this question regarding a 1959 dodge  CR 4 door hardtop  with the cardboard headliner sections. I need to calculate how many yards I need to cover the  board panels in a foam back perforated vinyl. anyone ever go thru this procedure ?   the shorter panels in lenght are 57" and the longer rear panel  towards the sail panels is  85"  . one yard in that vinyl comes in this dimension of  54"x36" . Thanks !

I think it would be better to get the proper metal bows for a cloth headliner and eliminate the cardboard one if it is not in good shape.

Seems 3 yards all in a row would be enough. You can cut the longer ones first and then the short ones. 108'' equals 3 yards long and it will be 54'' wide. Should be plenty.

mstrug you are correct ! here's what I did to find the yardage , I laid all 4 card boards out of the floor flat . three of them in a row across equaled 54" and the shortest board at the bottom on an angle . so they are all in a rectangle shape of 54" width and 108" in total length which equals 3 yards exactly. Well that was easy.
