ABS Headliner Questions

I just picked up one of the plastic ABS headliner replacements from a local supplier. It's a T-top version, and I had a couple questions for those who have installed one:

-What did you do about the two front clips? There's no provisions for them on the plastic replacement

- I am planning on covering it with the foam backed headliner fabric; what adhesive would you recommend?

-How did you find the overall fitment?

Anything else I should know before I tackle covering it and installing in my car?

Thanks,

Zack

[QUOTE=Firm;5947129]I just picked up one of the plastic ABS headliner replacements from a local supplier. It's a T-top version, and I had a couple questions for those who have installed one:

-What did you do about the two front clips? Nothing,it's light enough.

- I am planning on covering it with the foam backed headliner fabric; what adhesive would you recommend? Headliner spray glue,

-How did you find the overall fitment?Just OK,(didn't like the fit along the sides of the T Top)(went back to stock)

Anything else I should know before I tackle covering it and installing in my car? Take your time,be patient.

My new liner sagged down, even though they say you don't need anything, so I put a 2"x2" square of Velcro where each of the front clips went. Works like a charm.
