go to the junk yard and get a new seat, and see if you can find a headliner... doubtful tho... and take out your carpet and let it air out

First thing I would do is fix the leaks.You could prob find good weatherstripping at a yard and plastic trims ,dash ,etc....if you need that stuff.But youll prob have to buy new carpet and headliner set.........

Junkyard headliners are.. junk. Go with a plastic one, thatll solve all of you drooping/tearing/etc problems

let me clarify


it sat at the paintshop for 4 yrs...due to the owner's a-hole-ness about some stuff between the car and the friend I bought it off of and work they did on his 84 H/O (my friend Damion, of whom I bought the car from, owns nothing but Trans Ams....I was going to say nothing but 3rd gens, but his current daily driver is a 97 Ram Air T/A) with the windows cracked open a bit....so there is no leak, especially now that I have a cover on it. It also wont move because when I got the car back, the tilt bowl was busted, and the wheel wont lock (made trailering it home a B***H LOL) so now I need a new column....


I also live in NE Ohio, about an hr or so from CamBird, an F-body junkyard, so I think I will go there soon.
