RE: Roof Interior

["The Stevens" <the_stevens@hotmail.com>]

I don't have any BTDT with headliners, but how about talking to a sunroof 
shop.

If they cut custom roofs, they may be able to remove\install a headliner w\o 
screwing it up.

Any autobody shop will probably have the skill to do it too, if indeed it 
can be done.
