Original Style vs One Piece: Original sedan headliners were multi-piece affairs. These are referred to as "original" type headliners. A vast majority of the headliners that we sell are the one piece headliners. These are much easier to install.
The usual reason chose to select an original style headliner is to receive originality points in a juried show. Original Beetle headliners were made of soft cloth until In and later the original headliners were made in a vinyl fabric. At first these were a perforated vinyl and then, from onward, an unperforated vinyl.
Our warehouse inventory tends to follow the original equipment, but we can quickly supply any fabric or any color for any year. In other words, you can select what color and fabric you wish, for any Beetle. Sign In. Create Account. Email Address. Create a JBugs Account.

Check out today's January Daily Deal! Video Transcript: Hello! Sam here with JBugs. With the sound deadening and headliner padding installed on our Super Beetle project, in our last two videos. Along those lines, we'll note the conversion style headliners are often referred to as "easy install" or "one-piece" headliners, and those terms can confuse people.
The term one-piece refers to the main roof, above the rear window and c-pillars,. We bend and pry the door grippers back for the windlass using a plastic trim tool,. The material is pulled back outside again and all the metal grippers are tapped down with a mallet to hold the windlass in place.
We don't spray the very bottom edge yet and once the glue is set,. Then, starting from the top, we work from the door grippers on the car, pulling and stretching the material as needed, to the window opening. A trim tool helps to work the material into place at the body. Then, the material is pressed in place at the quarter panel opening.
At the bottom, we work the material on top of the base of the door pillar, stretching the wrinkles out as best as we can as we go. Outside the car, we spray the edge of the body and the headliner at the quarter window opening, with glue. Resist the urge to just fold the material over and then come back and cut the excess with a razor blade. The cut marks allow water and moisture to get to the metal, which will cause rust. We use a piece of pinch welt or snap-on trim to help hold the material in place while the glue cures.
The opposite side door pillar material is installed in the same manner and once both door pillar pieces are installed,. We didn't have headliner bows for our car so we'll start by cutting new replacement bows to length. We pull the bow and note how far the bow stuck past our mark, where it was stuck into the rail,. Once all the bows are cut, they're fed through the bow pockets on the headliner and we install bow caps on either end. Then, inside the car, we align the headliner bows so they sit straight across the roof.
Next, we'll get the headliner installed into the top of the door openings. Then, we spray the back of the headliner, and when the glue is set,. We cut back some of the excess material from about an inch in front of the b-pillar,.
