Yeah, been looking for one myself. Its amazing how all of 3 square yards of fabric and board costs around $200. Where did you find one for $164? I have seen $170 a few times, but that was just the actual headliner fabric and not the sun visors, sail panels, or piece the fabric mounts to.

You guys are aware that the $140 kit does NOT include a headliner, right? It just comes with the fabric to recover yours.

Re: wheres the cheapest headliners for a t top?

just DIY. It's rediculously easy, takes a little time, and the only hard part is getting out the headliner without bending or cracking the fiberglass. It's probably a lot easier with a t-top car I would imagine. Max cost would be about $20 for fabric, glue, and misc stuff. Give it a good day to dry in the sun and you have a stock looking headliner for a fraction of what the other guys paid. Mine came out great for doing it once.

Yep, thats why its no good for me :/. The mounting board (if thats what its called) is rotted/flaking.

That really only works if you are just putting new fabric on. Its a good way to do it if you can.

Actually, recovering a t-top headliner is a lot harder than a hardtop headliner. A hardtop headliner is basically flat, but a t-top headliner is much more contoured, and requires special procedures in the t-top corners that most people can't do. And if your headliner board isn't in great shape to begin with, forget it.
