Poptop headliner install Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2015 9:11 am     Views: 28      Rating: Not rated

This is the same process that DaleNW pioneered. Only difference is that I added a hard wired dome light into the headliner.
I glued a thin piece of wood to the back of the formica to act as a backing plate for the pancake light. Then I drilled a hole through the wood and formica and ran my wires before I glued the formica down. I ran my wires down the drivers side wood strip. I also used some 5 min epoxy to hold the wires down to the formica every couple of inches.
I used the same Sandstratos hull liner that Dale used and I'm very happy with it.
screwed the dome light through the formica into the wood backing strip.
I ran the Hull liner over the wires. And then I fished the wires into the rear tent seam (Thanks Dale for that tip!) and down into the cabin all the way to the front.
Everything works great and I'm really happy with how the whole project turned out.
