Oh Dee, you'll love this... I'm about to break out my seamstress seamster skills and make a headliner myself. I'm going to try my best to make it so that it will be able to go up and down with the top. If not, it will be a quick install/uninstall design.

Fixed roof headliners are easy. For a convertible? Let's just say it's going to be a PITA.

Yep, black suede with 1/8" foam backing. I also have some 1/4" sewing foam and some 1/8" closed cell foam. I should be able to get some decent insulation/sound deadening properties out of it.

The Auco headliner (no longer available) is one big piece. I am pretty sure I can do it this way.



The trouble is going to be improvising the mounting mechanisms. I have a few different things to try.
