is your T-bar leaking? Also it may be time for subframe connectors...

I thought maybe the wind was ripping it?.... The cloth headliner is ripped.. T-tops havent leaked since ive had the car.. but when i bought the car the passenger seat was damp..

You get good glue and good cloth... I redid my headliner for about $30... It is nogahide (like fake leather) & it is looking awesome... I have pictures here somewhere... but if you do re-glue it, make sure when you take it down, you clean the old crappy glue off, or it doesn't really do anything :| it's like adding glue to air and expecting to the glue to dirt and expecting it to keep to the headliner...

I also made a thread somewhere in this forum, search for it, gives more details.

My nogahide is navy blue... it can be picked up from walmart for about $3 a yard, I used 2 yards and have scraps left over.

I just bought the new ABS plastic headliner but recommend redoing yours if money is a prob. but if money is no prob just order the ABS headliner this is what it looks like in my car.. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2386121/2
And this is where I bought it from.. Camaro or Firebird 82-92 ABS Headliner T-top or Hard top
it worked real good its spendy but better then the original fyberglass crap this new ABS headliner is real sturdy but if you get it you need to cut the hole fot the dome light bigger or mount the dome light backwards I had the map lights so I went to the junkyard and got a regular dome light and mounted it backwords that way you dont have to cut the hole bigger but I looks good and way more sturdy its worth the money thats my
