Headliner trim panels???
Am installing a '30 Fodor interior kit from Classtique. The headliner is in, and am ready to start installing the fabric-covered trim panels around the edges of the headliner. Is there any particular order to put these in that works best. Start at header and work back.....or rear and work forward....sides first???? Not much info on this step in the instructions.

Re: Headliner trim panels???
With my 31 Tudor i started with the back, then the back corners, quarters, above the doors, finally the header. The rear corners can be a pain so that’s why I started with the back and then the corners

Neither. Start at Body Lock Pillar on both sides. Then Rear Door(s) Roof Rail Trim followed by installing front Header Trim Panel which allows for fitting Front Door(s) Roof Rail Trim where the Trim Panel can be shortened if necessary. Then fit Upper Back Side Trim Assy on both sides and followed by fitting Upper back Trim Assy.

Re: Headliner trim panels???
When I installed interior in my Town Sedan, I found that these trim pieces above the doors, etc. were often too wide. You may have to peel back the cloth off of the cardboard and make them a bit narrower. Don't install them as provided if they hang over the door opening. I envy you doing this project. Take your time and you will be amazed at how beautiful you will make your car look. Ed

X2 on what Ed just side. On my 31 slant town sedan I had to trim both sides, otherwise they would have been too low.
