Important Notes: These headliners are aftermarket conversion style headliners that are pre-sewn and tailored to fit this specific model. Your existing headliner as well as any stays between card board panels must be discarded. The headliners also include the bows (rods) to support the suspended headliner. The bows must be fitted to the roof of the car, so measuring and drilling is required. The Headliner is stretched in place, and the edges trimmed and finished much like a conventional headliner installation found in a vintage car.
These Non-Factory Style Aftermarket Conversion Headliners (inside roof covers) and Headliner/Sun Visor Kits only fit 1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone 2-Door Hardtop Model 63. To determine the Model Number of your vehicle check the ID plate on the driver's side door jamb.
Original Material(s): Crater Grain Vinyl and Tier Grain Vinyl are factory original headliner materials for this Mercury Comet model year. Although these headliners are aftermarket conversion style headliners, the materials from which they are made are a match to factory original materials, so that your headliner will look as close to original as possible.
Headliner Only: You will receive a ready-to-install headliner; no sewing is required for the headliner. You will also receive extra matching material to allow you to re-cover your sun visors; sewing will be necessary to re-cover your sun visors.
Headliner and Sun Visors Kit: You will receive a ready-to-install headliner and ready-to-install sun visors. No sewing is required for either product.
These Automotive Interior Headliners include a 3-year (36-month) warranty from the manufacturer. Please see our Warranty page for more details.

(2) How does this non-factory style headliner differ from a factory-style headliner?
This unit is an aftermarket conversion style headliner that uses a suspended, bow-supported design instead of the original pressboard style. It is pre-sewn and fitted to the specific model, but it is not a direct factory pressboard replacement.

(3) What does installation involve?
Installation requires removing your existing headliner and any cardboard panels or stays, disposing of them, and fitting the included bows (support rods) to the roof of the car. The bows must be measured and drilled into place. The headliner is then stretched into position and trimmed, similar to other vintage suspended headliner installations.

(4) What materials are available and how do they relate to original factory materials?
The headliner is available in Crater Grain Vinyl and Tier Grain Vinyl, which are factory original materials for the 1965 Mercury Comet series. The material matches factory originals so your installed headliner visually resembles the original look as closely as possible.
