Headliner options

Hi all!

So, I bought a repro headliner from Dennis Carpenter and didn't put the center button in. Needless to say, the headliner is now warped and sagging beyond repair. I am going to replace it and saw that LMC has an ABS plastic version. Has anyone used the plastic headliner? What did you think of it? Obviously I won't make the same mistake in leaving the button off of the new one. It was an expensive lesson to learn. Thanks!

You can use some quality adhesive and attach both sides of some velcro to the cross bar/headliner. That way no need for the center screw.

No experience with the LMC plastic headliner.

If you have a regular cab, you can always find an extended cab and cut it down to size. The headliner material in the later bullnose is very durable. With a little patience, you can have a great fitting unit.

I have the LMC plastic one. it didn't fit very well and required some trimming, but once trimmed, it worked well. Paint it to the color of your choice.
