Headliner ??s
Ok can anyone tell me if any thirdgen verts ever came with a headliner? I beleive I have read that 89-92 cars had them, If this is the case, Is it possible to put one into an older convertible such as the 88 I am buying.
Any of you guys have pics of a convertible with a liner/headliner?

1992
I have a 1992 convertible and it has the headliner. I don't have any pics or know if it will fit the earlier years.

On the last pic you can see the headliner, a 8-10" strip that runs length of the top, and the outer convertible top.

My 91 had headliner and the 89 does not. Thats weird, I thought my 89 was the only one without headliner. Seems unfinished.

My '89 doesn't have one either. I'd like to know specifically which year was the first. Looks nice. Those pics above is the first time I've ever seen it.

I think that 1991 was the first year for the headliner. I could be wrong.

actually i think 89 mid years had them depending upon the width of the bow in the middle of the top. I have a 51&1/2 inch width bow from window to window on the doors.. the car has what looks to be headliner mounting like the one above does, but mine when i bought it didnt come with the headliner in it still..

My late 89 does NOT have the headliner. Lon drom TDS said the 1990's came with them.

I want to retrofit one to my car but I have no idea what else I would need to attach it.

Lon,
What do I need other than the headliner to install it into my 89?

You mean you guys keep your tops up? *baffled amazement*

I can vaguely remember that my vert has a headliner, tinted windows, and ice cold R12 A/C, just because I put the top up when I washed it and stored it.

At highway speeds, top up or top down is just as loud, can't see the headliner making any difference.
