Question headliner installation

I ordered a headliner kit from Mac's, and got all the peices I need, along with some extra's I don't know where goes. I got all the headliner, corner panels, kick boards, windlace, and several packages of hardware. in the hardware packages there are both tacks and srew nails (drive rivets). I don't know which go where. I also got a peice of piping, that I have no idea where goes. any assitance would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Howard

I am assuming the kit was made of some type of cardboard material. You should have some type of instructions with the kit. I think you start with the headliner. Look up in the center of the cab, there should be a small bracket welded there. You measure down to the top of the windshield from that bracket and from side to side, transfer the measurements to find the middle of the headliner and punch a hole and screw the headliner to the center bracket. There is a trim piece that goes over the top of each door that you need to fasten the sides. If you don't have these trim pieces, look on ebay. I bought mine there. The rest of the pieces you will have to hold in place and figure where to fasten them. The rear cab corner pieces fit around the rear window and down each corner. There probaby is not a piece for the center back. When you fit everything, go to a auto trim or fabric shop and find some thin foam backed material you like and glue it to the cardboard pieces and reinstall it. I don't know if this helps, maybe someone else will have better instructions. Good luck
