I have a 65 Chevelle SS. Should I install the headliner before the windows, or install the windows 1st?

Thanks for your feedback.

Mike,
When I did my 69,I put the headliner in first. It was much easier to get it tight around the edges because you could reach in through the openings. It is also helpful to have some help with the headliner. An extra set of hands really goes a long way to get those wrinkles out. Good luck.

Mike,
It is much easier if you have either front or back glass out, or both. Go to Office Max and buy a box of those spring type paper clamps. The smallest ones they have. They work great at holding the headliner where you put it until the contact cement sets up.
