Lets talk headliners

[Steve Agrella]

Everyone sells them, mine is shot and sagging bad.
I have the cardboard type in my 74 Duster, I would like to know your opinion on if there is a better brand than the others.
Which way to go covered or uncovered and if covered cloth or vinyl

There are plastic ones available now,foam/cloth covered. Was just looing into them for my dart.

If you can slap in the covered foam style, that is such a time saver over the old bow and tooth design, and your fingers will thank you too.

Any one ever paint a card board headliner?

I used a plastic type of cardboard on my 67 R/T instead of the bow type. I covered it with the standard foam backed material. It was $10.00 for a 4x8 sheet and the material was about $30.00. First I put that silver backed insulation glued to the roof with the 3m yellow weather strip adhesive. (Probably the most expensive part). I used spray adhesive for the material onto the board. It definitely drops the inside temps 20* in the heat of summer here in Texas. I used a drop down dome light from my pathfinder too. The only issue I had was the material wasn’t wide enough to do the sail panels and top as one piece. So I’m looking for ideas to cover the joint.

Build your own! Probably 40 bucks or less...
