I'm working on a 76 Eleganza II. The walls and headliner have been nicely covered with frp. There is no cover on the seam at wall and ceiling. I've
seen some nice replacement on here in the past but I don't know what it is called to put in search box. It is long, wide and snaps in a groove.
Any tips, links, idears are appreciated.

I am in the process of installing my new headliner, I too went with the Nudo brand V-47, however, there is also a V-27 retainer and clip. The
difference is in the positioning of the panels, the V-47 unit requires installing of the retainer first then the two FRP panels butt up against the
retainer and then the clip secures everything together and finishes the install.

The V-27 set-up requires the panels be secured in place and then the retainer is secured over the panels prior to the clip finishing the install. This
is how it was explained to me. Since I was re-doing mine I went with 47. If your panels are already in place you may consider 27? Check it out to
confirm your need.

Hope this helps,
Mike
 
I am thinking the 47 or the 27 is to narrow. My bows and headliner are in place. I need covers that go length ways on the sides and cover the wide
aluminum extrusion. Probably 3-4" wide and if I cover the seam behind the cabinets maybe 10' long..

I think what you are looking for are covers for metal or pvc electrical chases. (available @ Home Depot, Lowes, etc.) Electrical Supply stores will
probably have a bigger assortment.

Hope this helps.

Chuck,
I used oak wall base molding Stained to match the rest of the woodwork. Three black countersunk screws hold them in place. I think it looks pretty
good. Used a dado to cut a slot where the cross trims meet.

My Staff says I never listen to them, or something like that
 
Thanks all, I had thought of stained wood to break up the white walls and ceiling. Might make it look a little warmer and detailed. I like the
plastic also maybe to use inside the cabinets.

I have done a number of headliners over the years we have been GMC’ering! I was taught that your removed the headliner from front to back and reinstalled it from back to front. By done it in that order the front cap covers up any problems. The is an album on the headliner for our 77 Eleganza II.

I used my own seam wood strips to cover the seams between the ceiling panels. The front cap is finished in a material made by Foss, it is carpet style material that is cleanable.

Questions??

Ahhh. Thanks Johnny. I knew there was a link to just the covers but couldn't find or remember where it was. I've got it saved now.

I've bought miles of that stuff for studio builds over the years. The fingers on the troughs make excellent fanning strips when you run it down a
rack or a line of punch blocks. And you don't hafta be as neat as when you're lacing bundles plus changes are much easier.The Quincy Tinworks used to
use it in their transmitters.
