Yes, the Canisdog is right, let the pros do it, it's not worth the
heasaches. My Series II hard top was done by a pro and it has a modern day
headliner in it. Not only does it look great, it's an off white which gives
you a lot of light, and it also gives you a lot more head room. I can take
some digital pictures and send them to your personal email address if you
would like.

Yes, you are absolutely, positively, one-thousand-percent correct. But if I
do that, I'll still have to admit that I have never installed a headliner.
And besides, I find it hard to believe that a professional upholstery shop
is
going to know how the corners are supposed to be handled on a 1960 Series II
Sunbeam Alpine.
I'm not all that much of an "originality freak," and would have no problem
in deviating from "original," but it ticks me off that I don't know what
"original" is in this case . . .
