body and interior headliner help

[ohioplatt]

I bought a headliner a long time ago and left it folded up.  Now obviously I got a bunch of creases.  Any advice on getting these folds out?  It seems silly but I added pictures, you know "a picture is worth a thousand words" .  That means that is 2000 words I do not need to type.

lay it out in the sun for awhile before you install it...any wrinkles will pull out when you start stretching it while installing

perhaps one of those hand held steamers?

steamers won't work on vinyl...you'll just cause condensation on the vinyl...after it's in hit any remaining wrinkles with a hair dryer to tighten them

[ohioplatt]

thanks for that tip too

A hair dryer or heat gun would work too, but watch out that you dont melt it if you use the latter.
