sjwright944 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Good morning all, Can anyone tell me which headlining clips go where please? There appear to be two types, one for the thinner edges (which I think is only the rear screen edge) and one for the thicker edges. Just want to check which ones go where before I put them in the wrong place. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjwright944 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 I've already glued it. Clips go on additionally after the glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busybee Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I'd never heard of them. I found this though http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/860077-headliner-clip-placement.html Not sure if anyone uses them on here? They look like they'd make the window seal install even more difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnonut Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 PET says fastening clamp 999 591 336 01 at the rear, U-Clamp 999 591 342 02 at the front. Ive never seen clamps used though and certainly don’t have them on my car. I just stuck the edges to the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat fuchs Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Out of personal preference, I've always used them when replacing headliners. They hold the headliner in place as you tension the other end before the glue is fully cured. Never encountered any issues relating to the clips when stringing in the screens if you have them located correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used some of the thinner ones at the rear screen aperture and they're nice and flush so shouldn't cause any problems with the seal. Andrew, when you did yours did you just use them at the front and rear screens, not bothering with the rear side windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've removed/replaced around half a dozen headliners and upon removal, they all had clips across the front screen at the top (typically 4 -5) and on the rear window, I usually find 4 across the top next to the roof vents and 2 on each side of the window. Never found any on the rear qtr windows. Cheers FF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjwright944 Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 That's brilliant. Thanks very much for your help! I'll stick some photos of the finished job on here....if I don't mess it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindlycat Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hi guys sorry to sort of hijack thread but any tips for a newbie doing a headliner replacement? I’ve seen the YouTube videos but is this doable for a DIYer? mine has sunroof and I’m looking to order loads of bulldog clips does the environment need to be heated? Best left for warmer weather? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat fuchs Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Warmer weather will help but not essential. It's a job that can easily be done at home but you will need to take your time and be aware that you need to remove all your glass other than the doors. Make sure you use hi-temp adhesive Bull dog clips are ideal to secure in place during install Align everything before you start gluing anything Keep the old headliner for reference Don't cut any holes for interior lights etc. until the end and do this very carefully Remove all old glue before you do anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagarep Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I have recently replaced my sunroof headliner and it's the hardest job i have ever done! For the record, i used 5 aftermarket clips at the top of the front and rear screens. Do edges first and finish with the sunroof. I have around 60 mini bulldog clips from ebay to allow repositioning. Be patient, take your time especially at the back around the C Pillars and the top of the B Pillars. Don't finally glue it until you are 100% happy. I managed it with several calls and lots of helpful advice from Southbound, who supplied may headliner. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
