Headliner and Trim Issues - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Recently I purchased a headliner and chrome trim for my truck from LMC. The headliner was a bit to big so we shaved the cardboard down 1/4". Once we stuck the headliner up, we tried to put the chrome trim up around the headliner. The trim didn't fit in the holes that were in the ceiling. Any body else have this issue? How'd you resolve the problem?

You'll probably have to drill new holes. Darn reproduction parts! How was the quality of the headliner. I need one also

Did your cab have headliner before? I don't see any elongated holes around the headliner.

I would like to have a pic of those shoulder harness belts please.

The holes are underneath the tape.

Do they not line up? Or are the holes too big/small ?

They line up but they for some reason do not want to pop in. I think what we are going to do is put a bead of caulk on the back of the strips and stick them up there with some longer screws. The headliner might also be to thick.

I've used several sets of aftermarket trim with no issues, however I've only used oem headliners with it. That could very well be your problem.

We put silicone sealant on all the tabs and stuck it up in there. Some of them broke off while others popped in, needless to say the silicone will help them stick up there.
