Headliner clips

[scottryana]

All,

I a getting ready to install my new headliner, but I am looking for the metal clips that are used around the doors. Is there a place to find these, and is there a specific tool used to install them? I have seen Evan's pictures of his install, but I am still a little worried about doing mine. All the glass is out.... so I should just be able to install the bows, stretch, and then clip in place???

Thanks,
Ryan.

I have a large Number of the clips from mine laying around in my pig. I'd be able to get them and send them to you but not for like 5 weeks probably, doubt thats in your schedule.

Clemsen,

Thanks for the offer. I might just take you up on them, if I can't find a source for new clips. I thought I saw a source for them new but for the life of me I can't remember where. I also need to find out the ins and outs of headliner installs since I have never replaced one. If anyone has done it and has some pointers lets here them.

Ryan.

try this website. It was from another post about weatherstripping and the little clips for the door window felts.

Ryan,
I used a clip from a company named Aveeco (spelling?). I'll get the box tonight for the name and part number then post it. The part worked perfect and has a barb which holds the weatherstripping and door moulding more securely.

Ryan,
Remember, the bows have a sequence for installation and you'll need some adhesive for the edges in addition to the clips.

Thanks for the help. I knew about the adhesive and bows I just wanted to make sure I had the clips before I started anything. I really appreciate the help.

Ryan,
I finally found the clip box in the pile of misc. parts. The company is Auto-Vehicle Parts Co (Au-Ve-Co Products). They're called a "headliner trim clip", part number 9417. I got a box of 100 for about $10.00 at an auto upholstery supplier here in Atlanta. They worked perfectly and all you had to do was tap them on with a hammer. Good luck.

Thanks

You are the man. It is amazing how much information we as a collective have. I looked online for about 45 min yesterday trying to find a good replacement, and didn't. 5 min on MUD and I get a website and a part number.

Thanks,
Ryan.
