I have been asked to give a quote to install a headliner in a 21 window bus. The body is recently painted with no glass and a bare interior so this is a headliner install only. I have installed many beetle headliners but very few bus headliners and never a 21 or 23 window. I usually install a headliner as part of a complete restoration so I don't have a time calculated for it. Does anyone have a general idea of how long this should take someone who knows what they are doing and pays attention to the details so it comes out right. I know it isn't a quick job and I want to be able to provide a fair estimate. Any ideas out there?

A long time. Scroll down to February 11 and watch the video.

Thank you for the link to the video. I sped through several of the videos slowing down for the parts that I wanted to watch more closely. Looks like a long time as I expected but mostly straightforward like any other headliner install. I find it interesting to see the problems they had with the fit of a few things.
