When I removed the factory headliner from this 8-1962 built bus it had horse hair type padding laying between every seam on the headliner. I don't know if it was glued to the roof and then fell down or was laid on the headliner during installation.
This is the first factory headliner I have ever removed from a bus. I makes sense that it was laying on the headliner after installing a new headliner and safaris in my old 23. The wind would cause my taught headliner to flap in the wind. I suspect the horse hair would have eliminated that.
Curious what others have found.

| As posted by 55samba, my 67 deluxe with OG headliner has the horse hair padding--like what's used for seat padding--between the headliner and roof. It is also laying on the headliner but I believe it was originally glued to the roof metal. |

When I took my headliner out of my '67 there was that materiel laying on the headliner too, with no sign of it ever being stuck to the roof.
Gordo.

Do you have some photos? Maybe someone can measure horse hair material thickness?

No, the old insulation/ padding looked like neither of those linked.
April 61 15 window with original tatty headliner, old padding, and glue on the roof:
This is from a classifieds ad, shows glue residue

The headliner was glued directly to the doors, and to the bus, around the side windows.
