Do you have to pull front & rear glass to do in a e body ???
I do know it would be easier but is it mandatory?

I would...FWIW if you've never done one (and I have not because of horror stories) You should at least have somebody with you that has.

No it's not nessesary but it will go alot easier if the glass were out.

No, it's not necessary. And it's not the easiest job to do either. We did the one in our Challenger in the winter, using a heater. It would be better to do one in warm weather, lol.

Resto Rick has the best write-up on it:

I am going to have a shop do it. Its beyond my skills & patience level.
Seems like when I had my 71 340 duster done I HAD to pull glass is this correct

resto ricks tips are great,did mine

,i will add you should put all the screws back in there holes(coat hook,visor,seatbelt,dome)install your headliner,after it will be way easier to feel the head of the screw,then make small slit in head,back out screw,install dome visor ect.it is hard to find a small screw hole,it will also tighten the headliner up more when you install everything else. DOME LIGHT LAST,
