miracles

I would just like to say its not impossible to find a good used headliner for t tops. I foudn one today for 130 dollars. and I must say it is the most beautiful thing I have seen compared to my old one. Its perfect and I praise the person who wrecked the 90 rs to get it for me. just cant wait to get my car back with the 3.4 then I will finally be alive.

Josh, You need to replace yours?
EASY
Order the fabric from many vendors (search & ask, Classic Firebird is one major source) and install yourself.
All you need do is remove the old headliner, remove the fabric (roll it up & remove remaining fuzz *****) spray on glue & lay back down fabric. Let set/cure.
Josh, IF I HADN'T PUNCHED THE CEILING IN MY HARDTOP FIREBIRD, I'D HAVE MINE DONE BY NOW!.
Have the shop remove the headliner now, hand it to you & get to work.
This is such an easy mission, especially IF your foundation is in excellent shape. Mine isn't, I need new foundation cardboard piece. Oh well.

I need a new headlinerfor mine. My dumbass ex-old lady decided she wanted to "fix" mine when it wasn't even in bad shape. It had one spot where it was tore that was barely noticable. She's like I can fix it, I've done that kind of thing before. Well that was the worst mistake I've ever made. It makes me sick to look at it every day. First off she took it out and it broke in half when she took it out and she broke one of the clips. Well she rigged it up to put it back together and it won't fit right now and it sags right in the front passengers side. Not to mention I don't have the sunvisers now b/c she lost them. Needless to say I left her @$$. I'd really like to find good used one that is in tact and put it in. No luck yet though. So moral of the story never let your old lady try to fix your headliner, biggest regret of my life.
