Hello, Has anybody purchased/installed an AutoKrafter (not made by them, but sold by them, as in this auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-70-77-Maverick-2-dr-Headliner-Black-FORD-LICENSED_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ42612QQihZ006QQitemZ160004906552 ) Do these headliners come with extra material to cover the visors with? Thank you.. I was just trying to save shipping and buy from them, because i will be ordering their weatherstripping. Thanks, Sean
I purchased one. Haven't placed it yet, but did open the box. Does not come with extra material, only the headliner piece.
Terry just had one put in his car. I believe he got it from Melvin's. I'm not sure who makes Auto Krappers and Melvin's ones, but possibly the same company? All I know is it looks great.
Actually, you will have a little material left over. They don't cut it out around the back glass opening so when you trim that part out, you will likely have enough left to do the visors. It all depends on how they cut it. I have had enough left over a couple times.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... so i dont know whether to do it or not... or just go for that other one that somebody else was talking about today
You can get your visors redone fairly cheap at this place: http://www.autosunvisors.com/restoration.htm
I used the AUTO KRAFTERS head liner in my Comet. It came with the material for the sun visors. It looks real good but all head liners in Mavericks and Comets are hard to install if you have never replaced a head liner.
I was told by an upholstery shop today.. that if I supplied the headliner, it would be 120$ to install...
Keep in mind that both front windshield and back glass will need to come out. You will very likely need to replace both rubber gaskets as they will usually have cracks in them. If you try to reuse the old ones, you will have leaks. Even using new ones, they are hard to get leak free. Good luck.
Are they going to try to do it without removing the glass? The old headliner wraps around the glass openings and the glass is then put in over the edge of the liner. The glass rubber (and a little adhesive) actually holds the liner in place.
