Headliner lesson
I keep my TA in a garage and it's never out in bad weather so I leave the T-tops off of it at all times, I just cover it up in the garage. So my headliner was bad to start, coming off in some places and there are a few nasty looking spots from the PO trying to glue it back up, but it was not sagging. Well I went to start my car this weekend as it's stored at my Grandpa's house. For some reason I looked up and was like ERRRRRR! most of the headliner is now sagging. The garage is not heated, but stays very dry, do you thnk the cold temps and mosture in the air took it out the rest of the way? Lets just say I have the tops on it now.

Re: Headliner lesson
Well winters air isn't humid it's extremely dry which is why your lips chap so much in the winter I just think it was it's time. Lucky for you, you already have a headliner mold to re-cover with some new fabric and some fabric glue. I myself can't find a t-top headliner and will most likely have to make one from a hardtop headliner.

Re: Headliner lesson
fix any breaks with newspaper strips, start in the middle where the dome light is and pay attn to the material and pull it once you get to ither end or it'll walk and you will be waay off and have to back up and re apply or start all over.
