I have done 4 headliners in 69s and they all were PUI and they have had the same issue.on the last bow to the rear the material has a bad area in the center and just wondering if anyone knows of any better brands that have better quality?

I just did one over the weekend and had a similar issue. I am pretty certain the issue is with the listing being too loose. It will not let you pull an even stretch. Steamer helps alot, but still had a small wrinkle when I finished.

thanks,I hate that you had the same issue,it just wont let you pull the last section tight enough and leaves that spot in the center,could be worse but I really want a nice job

I've had two of their professional J-4000DM steamers in the past 30 years: http://www.jiffysteamer.com/

We manufacture Camaro headliners. All of ours are made here in the USA, about 50 feet from my desk. :)

We've been selling them for quite a few years and I've never heard the issue that you're dealing with. Sounds like their patten is off just a little bit.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

My issue is not is the center, it was on the side. That can come from not being pulled tight enough side to side.
