Car roof interior

Pat or one of the other regular 'car guys' might have a better approach, but here's my way. If it's one of the 'standard' arrangements where front and rear windshields are connected by 'straps' I'll often cut them apart, since fit is often more snug that way. Then I'll make the headliner out of thin plastic sheet. A little careful fitting and trimming is usually all that's required for a convincing 'lid.' I'll glue it in with CA---since solvent-type glues will ususlly partially melt the thinner sheet plastic.

Good luck

That seems like the only solution to me as well. I will give it a try. Thanks.

I do it that way too.  Sometimes don't even do a plastic headliner- just paint the area.  Is usually not too difficult. Often the windows fit better than when all in one piece.

Hello!

In my last car model I have filled the cutout in the clear piece with a matching styrene plate part and then I made the headliner out od youghurt can lid (aluminium foil). It turned out like this:

Hope it helps - have a nice day

Was it a textured yogurt foil piece or just regular aluminum foil?

Hello!

Yeah, it was this textured material, it had those fine squiggly patterns embossed in the foil. This way you can shape the foil very nicely and minor surface imperfections also hide in the patterns.

Good luck with your builds and have a nice day

Well Now :

   I gotta say , That's nice Pawel . T.B.

Hi;

   The first thing I do is separate the front and rear . Then I make a piece in .020 to fit between the panels , and like Pawel I use textured aluminum or paper to make the headliner on top of that . Paint and done ! T.B.
