Headliner Cleaner/Hardtop to Body seal
« on: July 26, 2017, 20:53:47 »
Does anyone have any tips on cleaning the headliner?


The OEM seal (hardtop to body is 3-400 bucks and due to the fact that I will most likely store the hardtop away, why throw out 3-400 dollars?

All seals I purchased were OEM expect this seal...which I bout from URO...but it seems to be 3 inches too long.
After ready many posts, most members say that anything that touches glass and the truck must be OEM and I followlled that rule...
Am I doing something wrong that this seal is too long?  It measure roughly 92.5 inches.  Any ideas?

I have redyed the interior to the hardtop, it is cumbersome but if the material isn't cut the vinyl come up very nice.  It requires some prep and it is tedious to get dye in right places and not goop it on and fill in the holes.   I will get a picture from the last one I redyed. But definitely a DIY. Bob
