Re: 1948 headliner retainer(s)

An alternative to the OEM rear retainer strip is to use a thin piece of aluminum (or steel) and make your own. I purchased a 1/4" x 3/16 aluminum strip from Home Depot and traced over the holes from the roof. I then ended up brushing it to provide a brushed metal finish. I purchased a fiberglass headliner many years ago off eBay for the actually headliner. I will see if I have any pics. It was on my previous build.
