Here's a little detail on the prep work as well that lead up to the trip.
When I had the trans out to repair the cracked tailshaft housing I installed the final hard piece that will enable me to have heat in this car. The 960 has a very specific water neck I've been hoarding for years now. The installation required trans removal so I was just waiting on the right time.
This a little idea of how tight it was to get it in there too...much cussing was required.
I also was determined to get a headliner in this thing too. I didn't have time to strip all of the awful old sound deadening off, but I knew putting this up I would redo it in the future anyways. I will have to at some point paint the window sills etc, and this can't be done with the headliner in.
Where I started:
Layout and ironing out package wrinkles:
Threaded through the bows and hanging:
Finished:
The way I did it was just to use a plastic putty knife, then you literally just start stuffing it up into the groove where the little retention teeth are. There are plastic strips front and back that fit into separate channels, then you just keep stuffing it up until tight.
(Mostly) prepped and ready to go:
