6. Remove Rear Quarter Window Garnish Molding.
7. Remove Back Window Curtain and Brackets.
8. Remove Back Window Garnish Molding.
9. Remove Parcel Shelf Board Trim and untack Headlining
from the Parcel Shelf Board and around Back Window
Opening.
10. Remove Over Windshield Trim Strip by first loosening
the skirt of the Trim where cemented to the Windshield
Opening, then by turning this fabric upward remove
tacks holding the Foundation to the Tacking Strip above
the Windshield.
11. Remove the Upper Rear Quarter Trim by first untacking
the skirt of this assembly around the upper part of the
Window Opening and then by removing the tacks from
the cardboard Foundation.
12. Untack the Headlining from the Trim Strip across the
top of the Windshield. (At this point it is advisable to
mark the center of the Headlining and the center of the
tacking strip in order to better locate the approximate
center when replacing the Headlining. This idea should
be carried out at the center of each Roof Bow and Headlining
Listing as the work proceeds.
HEADLINING
REPLACEMENT
1. Starting at the Rear Center Headlining Supports, directly
above the Rear Window, attach the Listing Wire and
the center of the Headlining to the hooks on these Supports.
Work towards the sides of the body attaching
Headlining to the other Supports and bending the retaining
hooks securely to place with a light tap of the hammer.

2. Follow this procedure towards the front of the car attaching
Headlining to each Roof Bow making sure the
opening in the Headlining for the Dome Lamp is in its
proper location.
3. Starting at the center and working toward each corner,
tack the Headlining to the Tacking Strip directly above
the Windshield. Make sure the openings in the Headlining
for the Sun Visor Brackets are properly located.

Filler and Upper Rear Quarter Trim Stick.
13. With the fingers turn down the Wire-on Molding along
the Side Roof Rail Filler and untack the Headlining. At
the first Roof Bow, a white muslin hem or "listing" as it
is called, will be found sewed across the reverse side of the
Headlining. This wire Listing is attached to the front
side of each Roof Bow by protruding metal hooks.
14. Unhook the Listing from each Roof Bow and follow this
procedure to the rear of the body, removing Headlining
from Roof Bows, and Headlining Rear Supports.
NOTE—The Hooks on the Headlining Rear Supports
should be opened carefully with a Screwdriver.
Never remove Trim such as a Headlining, by prying the
tacks loose from the front face of the Trim. Body Men
removing Trim in this manner have little or no control
over the Screwdriver in the event it slips thereby tearing
or ruining the Headlining. In removing Trim of this
nature use a proper edged Screwdriver and a Tack Hammer.
Insert the Screwdriver under the Trim and under
the head of the tack. Tap the Screwdriver with a Hammer
sufficient to loosen the tack and remove it.

4. Tack the Headlinig to the Rear Window Opening, starting
at the top center and finishing at the bottom.
5. Tack the Headlining to the top of the Parcel Shelf Board
and finish up at the upper rear corners, stretching the
Headlining only sufficiently to take out any fullness in
the material.
