Whats happened to the old one?
Just dirty and some scratches and holes in it....
or burnt down to ashes?
In the first case I would restore it by myself with
suede in a matching colour. Quit easy.

Mainly the fiberglass backing around where the roof vents go is weak so the vents don't stay in. I'm not sure how to even address this. How did you go about the suede? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Trevor

I removed the headliner then just used a spray gun and compressor and weldwood contact cement that I get from my upholstery shop and glued it on.
To remove it you need to remove anything touching the headliner. ..lights visors over head console. .ac controls. Pillars. Etc.
Just just kinda let it drop and pull it out the back. Gotta adjust and fold certain seats to maneuver it out.
