Headliner from RockAuto?

Did some more checking over the weekend. On the front section, backing might be salvageable, I really think it's just the fabric that has come loose from the backing. Back section is a different story. The backing has bowed down some six inches in spots. Not sure if it could be reformed back to original shape and have it hold.

I have been considering extra bows or support ribs for additional support. Almost surely would have to fabricate something. Anyone ever done or seen something similar?

I did my Suburban ceiling and visors with the material with the foam backing. It was tedious, but it came out like stock. It is not rocket science.

Also look into the other vendors. I found at least 2 that were offering free shipping and only 280 to 305 for the headliner.

That is really nice. Funny... we had some curtains of similar material we recently got rid of during a kitchen remodel. Color was similar to the maroon on my burb (my interior is gray though) - might of looked kind of nice in there, but they were also a bit faded.

Thanks, I'll definitely see if I can find some with free shipping.

Now that is a nifty idea! Came looking for headliner replacement options, and found another way that my much better half can get involved in my K20 build!

Probably more apt to tear as well from age and degradation. I wouldn't probably have gone through the effort with anything short of some new material.

since then a made 2 other headliner with the same stuff!

a few weeks ago I was going to pull the trigger on a headliner from LMC but just couldnt get myself to pay that damn much, so I gave an attempt at fixing mine, it has wrinkles and isnt nowhere near perfect, but that foam crap doesnt get in my hair anymore

Good timing on these last two posts - I finally started this project on my burb. I have on order a roll of the gray, foam-backed fabric from Amazon. I also have the rear section ABS headliner board (uncovered) on order from Rock Auto. The front section pressboard is in (I think) good enough shape that I'll be able to reuse. I spent today taking all the inside trim off and then getting out the old headliners. What a mess, the foam crap was everywhere. But it's out now and all cleaned up. Vacuumed off the foam off the front pressboard two and it came off easy with my shop vac. Now I'm just waiting for stuff to get here. I'll post pics when I'm done.
