FJ40 Headliner Install (1 Viewer)

[Rigger]

Thanks for your input. My top is sitting in the garage pretty much as I left it a month ago. No new progress. I took a vacation and am now in the process of moving, so I am in the slow lane. It will probably be a few months before I get back to it.

where did you get your pop out windows?
do you know where to get them aftermarket?

I got a new headliner and it has the wrinkles from shipping... How do you get rid of them? I am afraid of installing it and messing it up

Try laying it out and carefully heating it up with a blow dryer.

I put a towel on top of the liner and then used a steam iron with low heat... Did very well, but you have to be VERY careful. Very happy with the end result!

Since my top has not been off yet, and I'm thinking of doing it, could the rivets go in in the other direction?

This is what you get when you use pop rivets.

1st: you don't have enough space for your rivet tool. It's to close to the body.
2nd: The "squeezed" parts is on top and you have to cover it with silicon stuff. Now you have the bumps in the gutter.
