Has anyone fitted a new headliner? I have a 67 Coupe. I'm guessing that all the glass needs to come out? confused Any advice would be appreciated.

Yes, front & rear screens have to come out, rear seat back, parcel shelf door seals and all of the hooks/mirror/sunshades.
You'll need new clips (at least!) for the screen surrounds, and if the screen seals are hard I'd recommend replacing them as it'll be far cheaper than replacing the screens.

Good luck smile

yes remove door seals screens any thing in the way,if you roof lining has the roof wires to hold it up fit wires back in place with new liner ,in a well ventalated garage or out side use contact adhesive around all the edges of the new liner and the appatures on the car body,then get some sort of heater to put in the car this will soften the roof lining fabric ,then when soft start at the back and front then the sides,once in place remove heater the liner will tighten up on its own,refit all removed parts,
