Hello, has anyone replaced a headliner in a 41 Packard sedan and if so I would appreciate any advice. I have located a supplier on EBay called " Go liners that sells a pre-sewn headliner for my 41. Is anyone familiar with this company and how well their headliners fit. They state that they have been in business producing headliners and carpets for 56 years. Many Thanks for any advice.

I have replaced headliners in a 41 Packard many times. I only used headliners from Kanter so I can't speak for other companies. Use brushed cotton headliners due to originality and light weight. Heavy cloth will sag eventually. They will have to know the number of bows the headliner has due to variations in body style. Hope this helps. John

Hi John, I know headliner installation is not easy but how difficult was it on the 41's that you did?

If a person knows how to replace one, it is not difficult. To a beginner, it can be somewhat less than easy. If you call me I can explain the procedure. The 41's that I have done were no more difficult than any other car of that era.
Start with the middle bow and work forward, then go from the middle bow and work backwards. I can communicate better over the phone than I can with a computer. John 845-876-7309
