Donald Butcher 08-30-2002, 09:11 AM I'm going to take my hard top all apart and replace all the seals and put in a new hedliner, does anyone have any advice? I've heard that the hedliner can be a pain in the A**. I have never taken the hard top completely apart is there anything "tricky" about this task? thanks guys Donald Pin Head 08-30-2002, 09:21 AM Originally posted by Donald Butcher Is there anything "tricky" about this task? The trick to getting the strip over the front doors off is to remove the three screws on the inner side and then slide out the piece that seals against the door to reveal the bolt that hold it to the top. Just like a Chinese puzzle. CruisD64 08-30-2002, 10:31 AM use herculiner....its much nicer than headliner Mr McGee 08-30-2002, 10:34 AM we used spray in adhesive (make sure it is GOOOD stuff) to glue the old headliner back to the top. pretty soon i am going to find some old shag carpet and glue that bad boy up there. hth Max DCruiser138 08-30-2002, 12:50 PM ya...i herculined my inner top. its way easy but kinda pricey. then again compared to buying an OEM liner...haha!! i just used what was left from my tub coatings and slapped it awn!!! Donald Butcher 08-31-2002, 06:36 PM help! do the sides of the hard top attach at the back under the rear door??? I can't get the side panels off Donald Live Wire 08-31-2002, 07:49 PM You have to remove the L-shaped bracket at the back. I think there are also bolts going into the rear door header from the side.

Using 3M carpet spray glue I installed black Cadilac trunk carpet. I was able to get the corners to streach so there where no cut and glue lines. I also put the only seam just above the roll bar so you never saw it. This worked great, looked good and made it considerably warmer and quite in the rig. Easy stuff. Advent Horizon 09-01-2002, 10:16 AM I'm with helocat. Mine has greyish carpet up there, and it's so much better looking than stock. Also deadens a little bit of noise, which is always nice :) BJ On Roids 09-01-2002, 03:00 PM glue marine carpet up there, it deadens more sound, looks better, and is pretty easy.....looks awesome too that hardtop, that piece actually SLIDES out, undo the bolts and push on it, it has two tabs that are between your cab sides and your roof gutter..... | |
