I have STC SA661AL skylight in mine. More headroom and vis in a turn. Look up Greg Clayton and that STC. He's still here in Fairbanks I believe.

Wrestling my arms through the small openings in the headliner in an attempt to fix my trim indicator has me strongly considering the skylight install to open that area up for easy viewing and access!

There are several different grades of Velcro. Check with an upholstery shop. Some you could use to tow a car, some barely hold a pencil. You need some that won't fall down, but also can be easily opened up to get to the mechanism. I plan to use some of the "SUPER" stuff at the corners and the soft stuff just to keep the edges from coming loose.

VELCRO!!!!!!! Outstanding. I'm going to reinstall (what I just peeled back) with Velcro.

I just fixed it. It must be an original design. Hank's description of the system being too Mickey Mouse is accurate.
I'll keep running it in its original configuration until I get tired of fooling with it. Then, I'll look into installing something more durable like the ones described in other posts.
Thanks again.

When i recover my 45 I guarantee the headliner fabric in the front will be held on with Velcro so I will have access! My 45 had two triangular skylights and a triangle of fabric from the center of the "roof" to the back of the windshield. Should be a snap to do!

I guess the headliner blocking the trim parts complicates things. With a skylight it's visible. Marking the cable as it travels fore and aft would suffice, or like Piper, have a tab the cable moves as an indicator. Maybe the later trims with a full size tab are critical, but with my partial span tab it does't over control the elevator at any position.
I set it full nose up at takeoff to maybe help elevate the tail during that event with intentional application of forward elevator pressure, and at landing to slow the plane although it probably reduces the elevator's down load a bit when needed. Taylorcraft's stable pitching moment may not have required more authority unlike a Boeing 737 Max 8.
