Bought a 7AC last year, got through all the mechanicals however, tips and tricks for covered fuselage headliner install would be greatly appreciated, didn’t even have one in when I bought it to copy so…

Well I have no experience doing this wile covered, but I did mine uncovered. So recommendations play some loud gospel music, (covers what u might say from frustration) some good knee pads, flex and loosen up for all the fun positions u have to bend in. Well you get the idea.

Actually I understand it can be done, my best suggestion is get a good wool headliner (not from aircraft spruce) so once you give up on a nice tight fit you can shrink it to look better. Remove rear windows cover the interior in case you spill or drip glue. Buy some clamps more is better and take your time fitting before cutting or applying glue. There are several post of different folks doing the headliners with picture. Hope this helps and good luck please post some pictures of before and after.

I had mine replaced with the fuselage covered. It came out perfect. Skylight was obviously removed. D9CCBB17-DCB7-44FA-B0FF-5D4600B63E44.webp5D61F22B-B4CD-404C-9CD4-611B3CA27991.webp8805F619-C96B-4311-8070-8442FCBFFC3C.webp
 
Well wanted to update you guys since I got the headliner and interior done and you answered some of my questions. Seats are still at least 20 weeks out but a slip cover works for now… ended up designing my own custom install since I realized I would want to light it on fire if I went to much farther after the first night. Just have to finish up the 337’s now! Added the 8.5 this winter too.
