Default Targa top headliner.....

Any body have any ideas on where to get a headliner for the targa top for a 1984. I tried MAD, Eicklers, Corvette Central, and some others. No luck. Thanks.

I can hook you up. I have a nice one that I am going to sell because I now have a targa and a painted top. Let me get home and take a picture of it and we can play "lets make a deal".

Repop is available from Corvette America for about $150. GM still has them for about $210. Headliner can be removed, covering stripped, and relined with headliner fabric for about $25. You need fabric with foam on back. You also need 3m spray contact trim adhesive. Reinstall with double face tape on back of headliner to reinstall. Easy and inexpensive fix that takes about 2 hrs start to finish.

Sorry, I misunderstood your original post. Talk to forum user JB666. He may be able to help you out.

Good luck

Pete k, do you think that the headliner board is held in now with double back tape? If it is I will pull it down to see what I have to do to replace it. Thanks.

I have read where someone used cork sheets from Lowes. Glued them in before gluing new headliner material in. Supposed to quiet the car down. :smash:

Some are double faced tape and some are velcro. Either way, remove top and gently squish edges loose. It is a tight fit but you can wiggle it out without damage. When you peel material off you will see plenty if foam residue. Rub foam off with hand or use a plastic scraper. Then you can glue and trim the new fabric(foam backed) An easy job,especially after doing it once.

If held with velcro that would be great, and easy to remove. Thanks to all for the help. :cheers:
