88 convertible headliner

Has anyone added a headliner to a vert that did not originally come with one and if so how did you do it......do you have any pics?

I wouldn't think it should be too hard of a task. I think mostly what holds them in place is velcro and maybe some type of glue?

Re: 88 convertible headliner

They have these sleeves stiched to them that slide onto the top frame. there are a couple spots where it is screwed in. I'm not sure how hard it would be to install; I've never done it. Honestly though, looking at my 91 which does have a factory headliner, it would definitely be easier without the top on the frame.

Re: 88 convertible headliner

From what I understand the 86-88 tops were different than the 89-92 tops. I know the 91 & 92 for sure and possibly 90 had the headliner, but from my understanding the tops prior to 1989 its more of a trick to install a headliner than in 1989. The 89 top was the same as the later top but without the headliner.
