    Perfect, Mike! Thanks for taking time to take the shots and post. AllStitchedOut, you can see from Mike's pictures that the insert creates a smooth, finished fiberglass headliner insert, ready to be covered or finished in some way. The compound curve in the corner is exactly what I am asking about.

    Looking at that curve it should not be a problem to cover that corner in one piece with your material. Like you said contact cement will be fine just scuff the fiberglass first and allow yourself extra material to work with. You can also make a pattern and have everything sewn together but the first way is faster.

    Watch wear you start to cover it,You need to make sure that there is no tension in your corners,That way heat won't release it later on.A high quaility glue must be used for best results.How wide is your fabric going to be makes a difference also,Most are 54 inches .
