The 1970 ghia that I have been restoring had an after market sunroof. I removed this and found a ragtop from Legacy. It is 36 x 36 inches. I was wondering if anyone has pictures of the installation specifically the headliner. I am having trouble with how to install a headliner around the ragtop frame. Pictures or advice would be helpful.

Thanks
kurt

That’s why aftermarket is called “Custom”.

Sorry, that was kind of snarky.

What ideas have you had?

A photograph of the frame reveal will help with inspiration.

I “upholstered” everything in my ‘70 coupe (except the seats).
My advice is to get twice the yardage. It’s an endeavor of discovery.

When i had mine done, i wanted to have the seams on the headliner match up with the seams on the rag top.

I am in the same boat. What do you come up with?
