ABS Replacement Headliner
Anyone use these? They look like a more durable and inexpensive alternative to stock.
Mine were not horrible, but since I have them off while I repaint the T-Tops, I figured I would replace them. The original replacement pieces require a lot of gluing and cost about $200 EACH!!! These are like $149 for the pair and screw on easily.
Thanks!

I've used them in fact i need to buy a replacement for one that got lost during my recent move - it had fallen off its mounts some time before the move and was stored in the garage. They are textures to look like a factory part, but are IMO quite cheap looking when its all said and done..my next pair I will take to an upholsterer to get interior vinyl applied over them so they look a bit more like a factory part and less like a plastic part.
Hey, good idea.. I was thinking that same thing.. If I did not like them, I could always get them covered.. Just seems like the stock part is way over priced for what it is...
Thanks!

I removed the vinyl covering on my stock headliners. Then I sanded the adhesive off and coated the cardboard with fiberglass resin. Now they are durable and I can rebuild the edges that were water damaged. I still have to paint them, but will screw them in place like the ones linked in this thread.
