Re: 51 Victoria 3 piece rear glass install?
The stainless perimeter pieces went on first, followed by the 2 vertical stainless pieces. The actual glass instillation was definitely a two person job. One on the inside pulling the cord to engage...

Re: 1951 Ford Victoria Headliner
I was referring only to the 1951 Ford Victoria in the above post. The headliner, in this instance, does in fact need to be installed with the glass removed. On other models, that may not be necessary.

Re: 1951 Ford Victoria Headliner
One other thing to keep in mind is that to replace the headliner you need to remove and replace the three piece rear window. Been there, done that. It is a bit of a challenge.
