Postemup: Headliner pics

Hey guys: I'm wanting to put a headliner back in my truck that originally had one, but it used the chrome trim. Is there a way to put the headliner up without using the chrome strip? (I'm assuming I'll have to use Liquid nails) I'm assuming that the headliner will not be big enough to cover up the holes where the trim went. What suggestions would you have to cover those up???

Also lets just see some headliner pics of what you guys have done!

Re: Postemup: Headliner pics

I used two way tape I got at Home Depot. They have different weight strengths.

No pictures, but we used the repro chrome strips too.

Lasted through our summer here in NW, but other areas are hotter.
Glues will be a problem if you want to change directions.

Holes will be there if mouldings are left off

That's a very good idea. My oem headliner just sits in the trim, for now.
