The headliner I have does not have a seem sewn into the back or a looning spring. It has a black plastic strip sewn onto the liner. My 544 vinyl liner had something like that for the rear window, but I do not see how this works with the 444. At first I thought it was the wrong headliner, but it's not. Got it from Scandcar

I watched the video, and it was definitely helpful. It looks like he started at the rear window ? I am doing a 444 and I am not sure how the fabric attaches tightly around the rear window. There doesn't seem like there is anything for it to grab onto ?

I made a temporary headliner (canvas) for my 544 just to see if I could do it, before I spend the money on the good stuff. I removed the old one carefully, & cut the seams apart where it was sewn together. I cut the canvas pieces the same size & shape, & sewed them all together, then added the tubes for the bows to slide through. Mark a center-line on the upper side to help keep it centered while installing. I used a stiff putty-knife with the corners rounded off to push the edges up behind the retainer strips. I was pleased with the results & won't be afraid to make the next one. It's not really difficult, just takes time & patience. Doing it on a cool day helps too. I'm going to make one for my 122 in the near future. I watched the video several times which really helped.

I installed a new headliner about two months ago. I used this youtube video to help me. It is all in Swedish but it made it much simpler.
