headliner
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 08-Jan-03 AT 09:01 PM (EST)]Most fabric stores carry the foam backed headliner material and the Scotch 77 foam adhesive that is used to attach it to the fibreboard. Hancock Fabrics is local to St. Louis but any good fabric and sewing warehouse should carry this material. Thats where I got it for mine and my mother's Taurus. My mother is a seamstress so I shouldn't take the credit for finding it, she was there on a routine trip and brought a swatch home when she knew I had a problem with my headliner.
You will have to reuse the old fibreboard and make sure you get as much of the old dried out foam off of it as you can. Otherwise you will have all sorts of lumps and bumps in the new headliner. The Scotch 77 adhesive is the best stuff to use too. Sprays on and turns to something like rubber cement when it hits the board. Do it outside if you can. It smells terrible until it fully cures.
