Original 1966 headliner
Original 1966 headliner
Does anybody in this group still have an original 1966 headliner in the area under the rear window? I would have some questions about the factory installation and how the different pieces were originally put in place...specifically, I would like to know if the rear window is framed by a whole uninterrupted piece of dotted vinyl or by the combination of two separate pieces...thanks

Just a thought, you might want to try Gary Levere at http://www.vwrestorations.com/ he's been doing restorations for years, and he might know the answer to that question. Hope the restoration is coming along well!

Thanks John,
I'll let you know if he has the answer...

Re: Original 1966 headliner
Today I received a few pictures of original headliners from 3 different owners...from what I see, I would say it's a single piece framing the whole window and the stitches at the bottom corners provide just the illusion of a second vinyl piece, but in reality it's the same material running all the way around...
