Headliner installation on '53 Packard

Posted by Joseph Brandon On 2009/6/26 11:24:41

HI to all,

Two questions:

My first is on the headliner that I'm installing on my '53 Packard Clipper Deluxe. 2665 two door club sedan. I have a problem, the parts that hold the headliner around the door jams - the drivers side parts were missing when I removed the original interior. The passenger side parts I still have but all the points are rusted off. Here's a picture of the passenger side. I'm trying to figure out what I can use or where I can find these parts. I bought the headliner already fron Kanter Auto Packard Sales. I had an interior shop look at it and quoted a price of $800 to install headliner even with the headliner already purchased. I'm sure I can do it myself if I can find the parts. The windlace should not be a problem.

My second question is on the rear back glass, I got a new rear glass seal. Does the locking strip go on the inside or outside? Does anyone have any recommendations for how to install the lower back glass reveal molding where the clips need to go through the rubber to attach to the body since the rubber molding does not have holes for the studs to go through on the clips.

Thanks for your help now and in with previous questions.
Joe

PS: I know you original guys are not liking some of things I'm have done but the car is almost original and I'm treating it like I'm a teenager and just got it from my dad and we'
re hot rodding it.
