Fleabag here, I would like to get some help figuring out what the piece of headliner trim that goes from the door post to the BIG BACK GLASS in the power giants look like. If anyone has an original piece that they can take off and email me some pictures of it that would help. The piece I'm talking about goes from door post and then continues to the big back glass over and under it. I don't think that the original piece is very big but has to be shape funny to get around post then curves back sharply to get under rubber lip. Duane.

Sorry to be so slow
Duane,
The big window trim has a 90 degree bend toward the outside then another back towards the window. It's about 1 inch deep, at first glance I thought it was a 2 piece, but it's just a fold. I can take better pictures or maybe make a template if you need.

Iranch, after thinking about it don't bother taking it off to make template, it might break on you, that cardboard gets very dry and crumbly. The place at the top where all the pieces come together, is that space just open? If you could get a closer picture where they all meet I think I can figure it out. Fleabag!!

Not that big of a deal
It all has to be pulled out and redone sometime. I took the picture that showed the best, the rest of the thing is in bad shape. I have 3 57's with the big back window and all need redone. I'll need the template myself someday.
More pictures. Let me know what you need.

Dennis, I had tried to make that piece and mind looked like that piece but did not fit very well. I did not know how the top piece and that one would ever come together and at looking at your pictures it shows that there is a large gap in between the pieces, could stick a couple fingers up underneath it. If your going to pull it off anyway a template would really help me out. Fleabag!!

Space
Yes, there is a gap there. It doesn't go anywhere though, the rib that the top pieces attach to is just above the joint and shuts the hole off so the only problem is visual (looks a little cheesy).
I'll pull that poor one off the drivers side and trace it out today. PM or email me your mailing address and I'll send it to you.

Dennis, I have worked on the headliner, started by buying some card board but that stuff was to stiff and hard to form and get into position. Bought some ABS plastic sheet from a place in California and it worked out great, light easy to put a bend in it and has a hair cell finish that look's great solid black in color, this stuff is easy to work with, reasonable in price and will last forever. If you like I could post picture on Joe's forum for you to see? Thanks for the template. I used the same stuff on the roof and it worked perfectly, can not say enough goods about this stuff!! Fleabag!!
