Fiberglass headliner from bronco hut

[JdoubleC]

Thinking of getting this headliner, but wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with or installed it. At $420 I'd like to have some feedback before I buy!
Thanks,
Craig

Following, I bought one, I am waiting to test fit it then cover it in felt.

PITA ... lots of trimming , eating fiberglass dust ...:-X It is NOT plug & play !

We were looking at putting in the side window fiber pieces that Bronco hut sells. I am assuming it would be the same PITA?

That is what I have heard, hopefully it's not too much trimming for my top.

For $420 there shouldn't be any trimming, should be a perfect fit.

You would think, I will hopefully test fit soon, and I will let everyone know. Maybe I will get lucky!

Bought The f/glass headliner for my half cab,Very happy with final result,Yes does need alittle trimming to fit good but worth it.You have to remember these tops have been taken off and on for years and I'm sure everyone has been tweeked some

I am using it in my hard top. Yes it requires some trimming/fitting. I actually cut the quarter panels and reworked them a little so they fit tighter into my bronco. I also had to cut the bottom pieces so I could fit them in with my cage and make it easy to remove should one day I decide to take the top off again. I love it. The added benefit of the extra insulation I am running plus I leather wrapped all the panels, it is the biggest compliment I get on the bronco is the fact the interior looks finished. I will be installing another liner in a customers bronco when we finish building it.

So would this be easier with the top off? Seems obvious that it would but are there fitment issues that require top be in place?

My plan is to fit with the top off upside down. That way I can drill everything and trim.

Yes and no. I would start fitting it with the top in so gravity will work with you, get it marked where you want it and are happy with it, fit the front and rear panels as they dictate the center, then pull the top, line up your marks and start drilling.

Did you drill and tap? Or just metal screws in drilled holes?

... I guess it depends on the kind of Bronco your Building .. BUT I'm thinking since its Fiberglass. You can also incorporate. Your Radio Speakers in the overhead.
... I had a 1972 Chevy TR & GOT a fiberglass head liner & It had the Speakers located up there . I put some good 4 incher up there .. It was good sound .
. I sure liked it better than the 6x9's in the corners.
