|
|
I keep hearing how great the ABS headliner is for our cars. Where do I buy it? Does it come with fabric on it? And does it fit well with a hard top car?
My headliner has been in the garage for a couple years. It's a little stinky now with garage smells. |

I bought mine from Hawk's Thirdgen. I have a hardtop car.
First one, sagged in about 3 months. The glue did not hold it at all. Hawks replaced it for free.
Second one, it's been about two years and it's starting to sag again. I will eventually take it down and re-glue this one myself. I may be able to use better glue and have better results, however at this point I would say that having an ABS headliner might mean that you have to re-glue every year or two.
I think it's difficult for any glue to hold such a large expanse of fabric to that ABS on a hardtop car. It doesn't help that I have a black roof with a black headliner, so the temperature gets up there pretty good when my car sits in the sun. _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56

| Dark blue car with a dark charcoal headliner. No sags or even hints of sags in 10 years. |
