Saggy old headliner on the targa top?
I repaired the sagging headliner on my '93 targa top and made a video about it. I was able to use the original fabric, though there are oem style replacement fabrics available for around $40 if your headliner fabric is damaged. I used velcro to attach the pad in place for easy removal/repair in the future. Spray Headliner adhesive cost around $12, velcro around $7. Total cost under $20. It looks and works fantastic and much less expensive than paying $150 for an aftermarket headliner replacement.

Nice production. I have to do the same thing to my LT4. I thought it was velcro from the factory but it was glued in and the cardboard just came apart when peeling it out. any ideas of what you would use for a backker board if the original one it shot. Thanks and good job. I do have to say that I like the extra headroom without. I am 6'3. I was thinking about doing something to the inside of the top just to make it look good and not even replacing the headliner. any thoughts on that?

If you need to "form" it a bit you can spray with a little water, form to desired shape and let dry to the new shape.
