Just found your channel and am glad I did. You are not only a master of your craft, but also a great teacher. Your calm demeanor and the ease of which you explain things make is so easy to follow your instructions. Also love your sense of humor.(One of keys to a long life). I am really enjoying watching all your videos. I am hoping there is one on replacing sagging headliners. I own a black on black 1982 Lincoln Continental Mark VI with only 23,000 original miles and is in exquisite, showroom condition, except for the sagging headliner and visors.I would like to do it myself. I love refurbishing things and my family and friends are amazed at my patience and attention to detail.I always say its easy to do when you love what your doing. I'm a little intimidated about removing the headliner and getting it out of the vehicle with it having limited room being a 2 door car. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Again my compliments to you and all your videos and keeping the Old School ways of doing things in your heart. Lad

Hello BB, Thank you so much for saying so. It's easy to see the size staple by the thickness of the tack strip. Most tack strips up front are thin, therefore, you would use a shorter staple, maybe 5/16" or 3/8". Most rear bows have the thicker tack strip and you can use 1/2" staples.
