Does anyone know someone that is skilled in installing a new headliner in my 84 Fiero ? Also someone that can replace the window rubbers in the doors -contact me at Psixgun6@aol.com thanks Paul

Please explain in more detail what you mean by "window rubbers". There are pads on the inside of the window, and there are "dew wipes" on both the inside and outside. If you mean the outer dew wipes. there are several videos on the replacment process in my youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/88dukecoupe).

Paul,
Our daughter Shanine is actually quite good at doing headliners. She has done a couple. With or without sunroof?
The dew-wipes, which I am sure you are refering to, can be rather tideous, I've had to do a couple of them. Especially, if the screws are rusty.
Send me a PM if you need more info.

It is a tedious job to replace the outer dew wipes. The 84 wipes are different from the later years, so be sure you've got the correct ones before starting replacement. The job is a little easier if you have the dew wipe removal tool. It helps in removing the screws that are blocked by the window.
I can replace them for you, but I can't give you a flat rate price. I'll do it on an hourly basis. If you're interested, email or PM me

it is sunroof and the outside wipes need replacing please send estmate of materials and labor to psixgun6@aol.com

some say they are all the same from the videos Ive watched that why I looking for a skilled experinced person to do the job right -so is 84 different ?

Donster what is the cost for material and labor for headliner ?

I guess it depends on what type of headliner you want. We usually replace ours with felt. Very cheap, approx $ 4.00. Spray adhesive is also very cheap - 3M 80, approx $6.00 a can. Labor is very very very expensive; at least two 6 packs of beer (German!) ;D If our daughter does it, even more expensive! three 6 packs! (I collect all beer from her and give her soda instead, manager's fee)

Don where can I purchase the felt- auto store ? or do you have a place in mind ?
-
what can be done for the sun visers ?
-
You can buy regular headliner material at Hancock Fabrics for under $15, which is enough to do the car.
I can replace your dew wipes and do them correctly, but I won't modify any to make them work. I've probably replaced close to a dozen sets, but I've never replaced any on an 84. It's the same process as all other years. As I recommended, check with DIYStu. He personally makes them so he would know if there's a difference. Or call The Fiero Factory and ask them if there's a difference. Once we know for sure, we can go from there.
-
the Fiero store says they are different and you have to adaped what they have as they are not made anymore -not sure what that envolves
-
where can I find a email address for DIYstu ? or phone # ?
-
I can't find an email address for him, but I've sent him a private message asking him to contact you through email.
-
thanks
-
well never got a reply from DIYstu so ordered the ones from Fiero store and guess I will learn what is involved in making them work

Before you start, order yourself a Rodney Dickman Dew Wipe tool. Makes the job easier, though not easy. About $10 and shipping.
-
what does it look like and where do you order it from ?
-
You can order it here:
