Sorry to bring up headliners again on this forum, but I've had the worst luck with these the past month or so. I'm looking to replace my original damaged T-Top 95 headliner, so first I buy one of those ABS replacements covered in gray fabric.
IMO, that product sucks, especially for it's $$$ price. While it's durable and all that, it's so rigid that it doesn't form correctly around the roof. On top of that, all the drilled holes are a little off, so fit and finish is a ton of work and still overall pretty terrible. The thing gets shipped folded as well, which warps part of it. I returned it.
So then I decide to just find a nice as possible original headliner board, and pulled a good one out of a 99. I take it to a local upholstery place to have it recovered, and now I'm fighting with them. They felt the middle section of the board was weak, so without asking me first they put a strip of poster board around it to strengthen it. Great idea, except now there is a large noticeable thicker band around the middle you can see under the fabric. Definitely stands out.

I'm not sure where to go with this now. At this point it would have been easier to just keep my fabric peeling, flaking material original headliner.
