I have to think that the headliner needs to be fastened to the side frame somehow, or at least get fitted over something.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have an '02 cab with two minor headliner issues. I have searched the forums. The first is the headliner is detached from the frame in both rear corners. There is velcro holding a seam between two pieces that seem to close like a flap. Would somone provide a photo of how the rear corners should look. Do the velcro strips get glues to the frame? The other issue is the gap between the headliner and the window/door. It is very large . I have to think that the headliner needs to be fastened to the side frame somehow, or at least get fitted over something. There are also some plastic tabs near the rear that are just hanging above the headliner. Where do they go. I believe this may have come loose when the rear corners failed. Any photos or directions would be appreciated. I don't want to chance one of the loose pieces from binding the frame mechanism or causing the canvas to tear. Thanks

Did you ever get a fix for this? I have the exact same issue with my 02.

POST 4Original post

My before And afters Spent $400 at independent who subbed it to a top shop. Got back a bag of worn out strips of elastic and Velcro. It was obvious some hand stitching was involved between the new strips and the top itself.
