    Im getting ready to start fixing up the inside and want to put a headliner in soon, they sell headliners on ebay for like $60 so i was wondering how much it would cost for someone to install it. i live in California if that makes a difference

    Not cheap, the windshield and back glass need to come out in order to replace it. Some say they have done it without removing the glass but I am not sure how good it would turn out.

    I live in nor cal, I just paid $600 and had this highly recommended guy that did a custom headliner in my 70' maverick looks great and definitely worth the price, the thicker fabric like you see those older 30, 40, & 50's cars.

    Had mine done with a AK headliner, and the trim guy left the glass in. Looks good, and have no problems after a year or so.

    I did my own, cost me the price of 2 bags of clothes pins, and a can of glue. But I did have the glass out, and I did it over a few days, so it could slowly stretch.

    They want $200 to install my headliner, I did it my self and wish I paid someone because its not as easy as I thought it would be, and I have a couple of rinkles...

    I don't know if they do headliners but I'm planning to use this place when I'm ready to paint. They're located in Lake Elsinore.

    Had mine done, was quoted $150, ended up at $200 due to bad insulation on the roof. Had both front and back glass out. Looks great.
