Finish inside of the A pillars

[rft218]

Hi all,

Just before I tackle the headlining challenge, what should the finish be on the inside of the A pillar for a 1971 car. I have looked at a lot of pictures and it is black hug I am not sure if it is the same semi matt as the dashboard or a vinyl / leathercloth cover.

Thankyou,

Roger

Black vinyl, like the dash. My was quite matt, but that maybe age!

Just vinyl but leave loads extra at the top as needs plently of material to into the door and window channel. The bottom has a V cut to go over the dash area and also down the door A pillar at the same time. Be careful where you cut as need the dashtop to cover it. Also at the top of the A pillar where meets the headliner its folded over to give a "finish" take time to make the folds similar both sides and also measure distances to make sure both sides look the same when the job is finished.....

A and B pillar on a 71 MY is early vinyl as used from 66 onward.

It's slightly different to the dash if you have valcanized one

If you need the correct type I have some in stock
