Does anyone sell a headliner kit that fits a M37 CCKW hardtop w/ oval rear window?

Thanks,
Robert from South Dakota

These tops had a thin foam liner glued in when new, most you see now that has long since deteriorated away as most have the glue residue showing. We custom cut perforated vinyl with foam backing to install in the ones we refurbish. The easiest way to do that is to cut a pattern from brown paper, transfer a drawing onto the vinyl, cut and glue the new material in. I can hook you up with a source for the vinyl, if you need that just shoot me a message.

fortunately my headlining material is still there in my hardtop I was planning to use a putty knife behind it to work it off and make a pattern from that...

MSeries do they make sound deadening pad large enough or would it have to be pieced together too much... I originally thought it was a sound deadening pad to begin with... How's the adhesion with the material you are using currently... ?

If you want pictures M37army so you can see how the material was installed originally let me know... I'd rather shoot pictures than chase down my electrical problem in the hot summer sun... :wink:

The stuff we use is 54" wide, length can be continuous up to 100'. It's good quality material. We get from DB Engineering. Phone# is 1-800-NoNoise.
