Installing headliner in 996 cab?
We just had the convertible top on our 1999 996 Cab replaced. (Top was from AutoTop - fine construction, with glass rear window.)
However, the installers (one of the supposedly "top" top installers in the area - Young's, for those of you in the Norfolk area) determined that the new top's zipper for the headliner was installed backwards -- so they simply removed the headliner and went ahead with the top installation. I guess I must really look like a dummy.
Well, after a simple call to AutoTop, it turns out that the "top" top installer was dead wrong -- they simply did not realize HOW to work the zipper. Unfortunately, I know that the technician knew that he had made a mistake, and of course, he started lining up his back up excuses, but never dared to come tell me in person.
Which all leads me to this question: IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO INSTALL THAT HEADLINER MYSELF, OR WILL THIS INVOLVE HAVING TO REMOVE THE NEW TOP AGAIN, WITH ALL THE PURPORTED DIFFICULTIES REQUIRING AN EXPERT INSTALLER?
I'd prefer to fix it myself, rather than go thru the confrontation. I'm a psychologist of sorts, and I can already predict the reaction the installer will have when I dare to challenge him. The factor of "losing face" will override need to admit a mistake any day of the year.
Any help, directions, would be appreciated.
