Noticed mine was coming unglued and lifting last time I vacuumed the interior. Sun has faded it also. I guess I could do it the same way as the headliner using the same material etc. Any thoughts?

BMA quoted me about $150-175. Local dealer was about $275. I decided to wait until I needed to install rear shocks and install a new shelf then.
I have heard of people recovering with headliner material as you suggested. Check the old archives. There may be something there.
I considered recoloring until I found the fabric is loose. Also a local auto upholstery shop said the material will not dye evenly as it is velour like material.
Good luck

Where did you get the material? cost? color match? etc

Yes, please tell us more.
i recovered mine (previous owner had a very unruly dog that tore through it and a couple of other areas....). while it looks ok, it didn't come out as well as i'd like. there are a lot more nooks and crannies and headliner material just wasn't very effective (it's lifting). plus - it gets direct sun so it gets hot. i found that glue wasn't effective.
at some point, if i see on from a wreck or on ebay for a decent price, i'll go that route. it's not a priority as it doesn't look horrible.
I need a source of material. Per shogun's experience with headliners, I think I need to stick with 1/8 material. What is is the best glue/bonding agent to use?
TIA

Looking for US supplier of 1/8" material. None he mentioned seems to have anything but 1/4" material. Thanks for the thought.
