82 TA T-TOP headliner issues

Can anyone tell me who makes a headliner with T-tops that fits good. I recently bought one ''PUI'' and I red the reviews some good some bad, the bad was that the headliners had gaps so with your tops off you could see inside of it in several areas.These are formed plastic not the old board headliner. Any info would be great on how to tighten it up.

Re: 82 TA T-TOP headliner issues

Lots of places "sell" them, but as far as I know, there's only one manufacturer. And that's the one you have. A few seem happy with it out of the box, but most find they have to do some, or a lot, of work to get it to fit decently.

Finding a good or salvageable used one is your only other option. Several members here have done stories on reinforcing the factory material with fiberglass and / or glass resin.

This was posted by a member here some years back. Think he may be a member, but I cannot recall for sure.

It's something my car needs, so I've made a pretty close study of it over the years. Just sharing what I have found.
