Re: Help with sagging headliner
Mike, et. al.:

I was part of that thread. Yeah, the foam backing rots so bad that
you are gluing a rotten foundation. It is not the glue that lets go
but rather the deteriorated foam. I pulled the whole shell out and
had it recovered for $110 at a local upholstery shop. Not the exact
same color/texture of the material but close enough for me.

A new headliner is a dealer only and even with list discounts (Clair,
Carlsen,etc) the price was a bit over $400.
I'll look for some old posts. Myself and Randy Paquette corresponded
off list about this a bit. He actually has put the headliner back
in. Me, well, no not exactly. Maybe this weekend ;)
