Bought an ABS headliner with the material already on it from Classic Industries. I installed it this past Friday with almost perfect results.

1. The headliner does come folded in a box but after leaving it out in the sun for a couple of hours, it did regain its intended shape.

2. Enough extra material was provided for whatever your purpose my be. I would assume to recover the sail panels. They were pretty generous though as I would say it was about the size of my rear cargo cover.

3. The color match was pretty much exact to the old one and the grain pattern I am sure was like the old. I couldn't really tell on the old headliner as it was a total disaster.

4. Had to cut holes for the roof console and did use the the t-top templates that are on this site. Although some minor tweaking was needed. Nothing a very sharp box cutter couldn't fix.

5. The only place where the headliner did not fit perfect was where the roof console switches for the lighting are. There is a small gap on either side of the console. Hopefully when it gets hotter out it will heat up the headliner a bit to cover it. If not, I am sure I can figure out a way to use some of the spare material to hide it neatly.

6. Hope the heat doesn't sag the headliner as I have read on some other posts here. But overall, it was a good, clean install. Took me about 4 hours. Two for the headliner to regain its shape and the rest of the time cutting holes and getting things installed.

 

Sounds great. Keep us posted on the sagging issue if you don't mind.

 

That I will. I just hope it doesn't happen though. Come to think of it, I am guessing the reason for the slight gap by the switches in the roof console might be because of the lack of the support piece that I don't have that came with the hard top roof consoles with the standrad fiberglass headliner. I am sure that piece pushed the headliner just a bit for it to fit completely flushed with the console. With this plastic headliner, I don't think that piece would work as the plastic is much more stiffer.
