    I got mine from Autokrafters. I just installed it 2 weeks ago. No problems, easy job.

    it looks like it would be hard to do,it looks like it would be easy to mess up especially back by the quarter glass and pillars.

    yes, but would like to get a new windshield so my plan was to remove front and back glass and replace with new seals and all weather strip ,just wanted it to look as good as the original, mine looks good but is very dry rotted and has a few holes

    If you can wait until the glass is out that would be the best time. Honestly it's pretty easy. I've only done two. The first one is in my falcon. Both came out perfect. It's very straight forward and uncomplicated. Its best with two people. PM me your number if you want to talk about it, or I can answer your questions here as well.

    I have also done 2, the blue one in the thread with all the clips was a very heavy marine grade vinyl custom made headliner, both were pretty easy.

    3m spray adhesive is what I used. There was no need for that many clips.

    You may have missed it, my material was heavy marine grade vinyl, so lots of clips.
