Does a 1940 Ford 4 door headliner replacement require removal of windshield or rear glass? Carl

Yes, both the front windshields and rear windshields need to be removed.. Mike "Kube" Kubarth This message was edited by kubes40 on 1-4-18 @ 4:06 PM

Mike, is removing the front and rear windshields also true on a '40 coupe, to install the headliner? I may be missing some subtle points as I saw in another thread that the headliner gets glues around the quarter windows and rear window frames, where I thought there was supposed to be tack strip - the glue install seems more reasonable to me and if you / someone could confirm I'd appreciate it. The package shelf appears to be a place where I might add a tack strip to secure the bottom of the headliner in the rear, below the window and to either side as the metal frame curves around, true?

The headliner, for a first-class installation, is best glued to the surface that the glass / rubber gasket will be placed atop when reinstalled. Easy enough to do this way and a much stronger (read: long lasting) installation. In regard to the area surrounding the package tray...I have attached a couple of photos of one of the coupes I'd restored. A tack strip in that area is necessary and was there authentically. I use the modern nylon type as it holds the staples better than the original twisted paper material. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Very helpful, great pictures! Thanks again. Added question, I just noticed while securing the headliner at bows 4 & 5, the screws securing the bows are rubbing against the headliner. I used screws that were in the car and can't imagine this was original - Is there a specific screw type that was used to avoid this? The bows were not designed with a countersink, so I am not sure how much more low profile I can find. This message was edited by FirstRideRestorations on 2-27-24 @ 3:27 PM
