Took the hard top off beginning of Summer and with Fall coming on wanted to put it back on and the headliner is loose all over.
I want to replace myself but don't know about installing around back window.
Has anyone done this before and advise how to do it ?

Thank you.

You might do to find out, the two are rather different animals ;)

I had a look in the EPC. It looks like there is a bracket along the front edge that needs removing, then two smaller brackets front and rear that hold it in place. May also be mounting pads along the left and right side edges.

Its a 129 Craig.
The hardtop doesn't come off a 230 it just folds!
Also in 1999 there were no 230s....
