The quick answer is yes... if the windows are out... wait until the headliner is installed to reinstall the windows.

With the front and rear windows you have no choice. You have to have them out to i nstall the headliner. BTW the rear window will take a good deal of time and patience to install. Have a friend help you install it . Follow the body manual procedure and you should have no trouble.

Make sure you take pictures of the gasket before you disassmeble. I found there are several ways to install backwards. I ruined a gasket trying to install it in my Super Wasp. The second gasket came from kgap with a diagram. Still a lot of cussing going on when installing correctly.

Do you already have your headliner? If not, check out http://autoupholsterykits.com/ I just bought a headliner and carpet kit for my Jet through them.

Acme Auto Headlining in Long Beach California offers Hudson stepdown headliners in 2 colors but you have to go through a retailer to obtain one. They do not sell directly to the public. If you call them they can tell you who is a dealer in your area. They are great headliners. Phone number was (is) 800 288 6078.Good luck.

Hudzilla is right, Acme has great headliners. I have used them twice and have been happy.
