i just bought a new headliner for my 87 trans am....it is not the original style, it has the plastic backing to it......my question is how fast would you rate it with the t-tops off? i believe i was going about 85 when the original headliner burst into dust.....what do you guys think?

 

WHAT, I have never seen or heard of headliners having a speed ratio The reason the last one burst into dust is because of the age.

 

I say about 160, just try it out!!! What do you guys think???

With the joke to the side, if installed correctly it should hold at all speeds.

 

This is a joke, right?

I'm not sure if this is what you want to hear, but it's faster than that little 5.0 can push the car

 

actually its not a joke and i was asking cuz it was a pain in my a$$ to get that thing in there cuz none of the holes lined up at all for anything so id rather not go through it again and i'm glad to know that it'll hold up better than my car can push it....hell for 170 for some plastic, foam and cloth, i'd hope i could put a 747 engine on this thing and i'tll still holdup! thank you guys for your input but i have another question (again, not a joke) but some sections of this abs headliner are already seeming to sag...any help on what to do? like it seems almost like they made the plastic mold too short and its stretching so much that its getting messed up

 

That sucks, i don't have a headliner back in my car yet but when i do i'm planning on getting a abs one.

 

ive actually heard a lot of complaints (not just my own) of the abs headliners being hard to fit in and them not fitting properly, i ordered mine from hawks and it was like this and ive heard of problems from yearone and other sites

heres alink to some badly sagging ones, worse than mine is sagging

Do you by chance have C&C T-Tops?

 

no theyre GM t-tops...why is there a problem with C&C?

 

C&C used a cut up version of the hardtop headliner I believe..
