Folding a ABS Headliner

Anyone know or remember how the ABS Headliner was folded in the shipping box from 1A or Classic??I want to sell this to a member but if I box it the way it is(unfolded) it's gonna cost a fortune to ship
Thanks,mantaguy

Re: Folding a ABS Headliner

When I got my new one last spring, it came folded like a taco--along the meridian of the liner with the inside (unfinished side) touching itself. Mine was a ttop though, and I can't remember what company I got it from. I had to let it sit for a few days to smooth back out. Don't know if this is any help or not.

Both mine just came folded in half long ways. Same as described above. Sucks because it causes a warp at the very front of the headliner that takes a few weeks to work its self out.

Mine showed my finger marks in the padding where I held it in place while installing it. Took weeks and the onset of warm weather to get rid of them!

I guess that's one of the benefits of my ABS headliner. It's sagging in front, back, left and right seating areas. Center too. So no finger marks are shown anywhere.
