I never put in a headliner before, let alone a used one. But he, it looks not to bad… But it is a hazzle. After a while I used some old doorseals, cut those to pieces and used those pieces. Works great.

Image

Image

A new spot fort he rooflight, I put in the cable first.

Image

I had to mount the ground wire first.

Image

And so it goes. Almost done.

Image

Windowseal in

Image

Handels in.

Image

Al suddenly I have a resonable headliner.

To finish te roof, I had to do a couple of things. Step 1: glue the insulation back on the roofplate.

Image

Image

Get the new seal on

Image

Hope that there is no shrinkage, because I have to make the seal shorter this time.

And the last parts

Image

These rods are from the E30 winddeflector.

Image

Image

These plugs hold the hofmeisterchromelist They are covered in paint and filler. They are NOT going back looking like this.

Image

So I cleaned them. Buy new is easier, but these are original.

Image

Also Ik coated two parts of the car black. Like the did in the factory. Black. The part under the shelf and the part what you see when you open the glovebox.

After some small chores, like adjusting the “schiebehebedach” and putting in the A pillar liner, I went ahead to 1 level below the roof. The rear window. Put in the seal and put the window in the seal first.

Image

Original BMW window, with my licenceplatenumber ingraved.

Image

I bought this seal, new and in BMW package from a guy with a 1978 316, who’s garage claimed it wouldn’t fit. But the BMW number is correct. It fits and the window fits aswell.

Image

Started in the corner.

Image

Through the corner towards the other corner

Image

That leaves me with the other corner. Always difficult.

Image

But in the end: it fits!

Image

After the other windows I will put in the loom, so I already put in the window heating cables.
