Re: wanted t-top headliner
I have the same problem. You could look in the junk yards but I am not sure if they would be any better. Before I buy a new one I am going to try filling the cracks with fiberglass resin Jelly, then applying a smooth coat on each side of the cracked(or broken) area, and then laying over those fiberglass sheets. Then turn it over and do the same on the other side. Mine is mostly bad at each end because someone before me tried getting it off without removing everything. I figure its worth a try since there is nothing to lose. I was going to try and take a few pics and if its actually works , post it on here. Has anyone else tried this?

Re: wanted t-top headliner
Iroc, on the ABS ones,we sell a ton of those.It resolves the issue with the the pressed board oem ones that deteriorate over time,because of the abs backing.I know that the manufacturer had gone through great lengths to pre punch and holes to cut down on install time.
It would be more resistant to moisture too,because it's not pressed board backed.
If you have heard of a concern with fitment or apperance PM me and I'll check into it for you.

I'd try the Boneyard. My Camaro came without one and picked one up from there for like 5 bucks. Bought Black Fabric for another 5 and a can of Duro All Purpose Spray Adhesive.$15 bucks an now looks brand new. You could also use a hot glue gun on the top to wrap the fabric on tight as well.
Hope this helps.
