Chief Headliner

Post by Jerry »

Started to install new headliner in my Cheif. I got it from Airtex it looks like a good product. My question is what is the right adheasive to use on the tabs that go over the bows and what is the best method do you start attatching the bows first then pull all tight at sides and rear then front or start at the sides and rear and front then pull tight by attatching to the bows. Any install advise will help. Also it is wool how much shrinkage can I expect with water mist and hairdryer. Thanks Jerry

3M 1300L is what Airtex told me to get.
