RE: IML: headliners

["david munson" <davidmunson30@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Originally these cars had an insulator sheet between the headliner and the 
roof panel it was made from a heavy duty paper sack type of thing stuffed 
with cotton/wool waste type of material and appeared to be glued to the 
metal roof panel .Without it you will get enough water condensation to ruin 
your new headliner so you should replace the insulation .
Here in England I can buy a sort of sacking based material that is about a 
half inch or less thick and after priming the metal roof panel inside with 
an anti rust paint (I use a red lead based compound ) I cut the material to 
fit , taking care to leave a clear area around the domelight fitting, I glue 
it in with an impact glue that will not be affected by heat . I also suggest 
that the area's around the very edge of the inside of your roof is treated 
with a non setting rust proofer as no paint seems to be on this area and 
rust will eventually work its way to the outside of your roof panel just 
above the rain gutter area.
