I had a B-body friend ask me some detail on sail panel assembly for reassembly. I'm glad he asked me because I took this video for him and I'll use it to help myself get the headliner back together correctly.





Nate and I liberated the back glass from the car, we started with a wire style camping saw with Nate on the inside of the car and me on the outside doing a 2 man saw action cutting the seal between the body and the glass.

We broke that little wire saw pretty quick, and I was fine with that because I worried about it chipping an edge on the glass and crating a crack.

So, we came up with our own seal saw, made from a piece of welding wire doubled over and spun with a drill, held with a plyers.

It worked awesome, it will be my new basic practice for cutting old glass out that isn't gasket fit.

well the healdiner did come out, I will label the bows back to front so I get them back in the right slots in the new liner.

you know why most headliners go bad? because mice love the awesome mousy goodness hidden above the liner.

yuck.

I think I'll likely replace this with something less tastey like fiberglass.
