interior hardtop template?

[brewhaw]

Should have been titled HEADLINER TEMPLATE. The old fabric top on the interior of my hardtop finally gave way. I took it off sanded the roof and will be placing a new one. What a PITA dust everywhere. Does anyone know of a template that may be out there to use to cut the fabric to scale?
Here are some pics

I used indoor/outdoor carpet on mine. My top was off so I flipped it upside down. I then just trimmed to fit and glued it in. If I recall it was abot $15.00 plus 3M contact adhesive. 15 years ago and still looks good. I've seen a couple of tops sprayed with white bed liner type stuff that looks real good.

I just went to main page of 40-55 forum...page one, then I put in search "headliner dimension". It searched all posts that related to those words. Hope it the headliner goes in well for you. I still need to do mine as well but bigger fires to put out

Thanks again. It would be great if this was all that had to be done! I was actually looking for a template that was already precut to the headliner dimensions so I could lay the fabric over, trace and cut out. I figure somebody out there has got to have one. Would be a great item to sell for someone with the means to do it.

You don't need a template. The only lap cuts you will have to make are in the forward corners. Turn your lid upside down and do it to it.

White bedliner is a great solution.

yeah was hoping for a way to do without taking lid off. I am totally leak proof right now and i know as soon as i take it off I am going to see the need to buy new weatherstripping.
