How do you do this? Do you have to cut the material in a particular pattern?

I lay the material over it and there's no way to cover it w/o having folds in the material.

Legendary makes a nice run of repro SE headliner mat'l very close to the original, has the thin 1/16 inch foam on the back, is very easy to work with.....black is all thats avaliable, as far as I know, the "nap" of the mat'l is not as soft as the original,.....but it's probally the best mat'l out there?.....comes 55 or 57" wide, and by the yrd, about $25 yrd......if you order it, INSIST they DO NOT FOLD it,....cause it takes weeks to get the creases out!!!!!!! ....have them roll it on a cardboard roll........applying it is easy, use a good (3M) vinyl roof spray can glue, make sure to scrape down the old SE foam, free from "bogies"....otherwise it wont stick, on the consolete spray a good mist coat, let sit for 5 minutes, spray a mist coat on the back of the mat'l, let tack 5 minutes, too heavy a coat will soak thru=junk!........have an assistant hold the mat'l suspended in the air, on the consolete start at the rear, slowly using just your fingers to form the mat'l into shape, no need to press hard, make sure you leave enough mat'l over the edges to wrap around the backside, when your finished with the "face",....turn it over, spray the backside, let tack, fold in mat'l, the headliner can be a challenge,.....start at any edge, but work from the center of that edge outward, to avoid wrinkles, repeat the same technique used on the consolete, on the headliner board.......just remember to let the mat'l "lay" on the glue, don't try to force it down, it will look like crap, after its down wrinkle free, then gently "pat" it down in place......good luck with your project

I would be interested in knowing where you can find it in the burnt orange color.

Foam? mine is made of a pressed board, similar to cardboard, and is covered with a fuzzy "felt" like material.

the rest of the headliner is also covered with the simple black felt, and the entire headliner was 1 piece of this cardboard like substance, 1 big piece.

I'm not sure that this is factory correct though, since not much else on the car has been. but I also haven't seen enough Gran Coupe Ebodys to know what the factory roof looked like. anyone have good pics of an OEM correct headliner in a gran coupe or SE?

Just google "russet 1833 headliner" that will get you started! It's an excellent match! Looks great in person.

I believe that member Barnabas Kriss either found or had some of the correct headliner material made and had some extra for sale.
