Shogun,

Thanks for the reminder about your site. I do remember your write-up about replacing the headliner. And thanks for the ebay site, I'll contact the seller to see in he has the gray color in stock.

I did search for info, but couldn't find what I was looking for. After my t-stat gasket experience (what I have to sand the block?) I'm all about knowing the little things that Bentley doesn't contain.

Yesterday my wife was riding with me and said that "we" need to do something about the fabric. This from a woman that typically doesn't understand why I want to improve a 14 year old car. Woo-Hoo!

Again, thanks!

Just found on another E36 board a similar question:

From this you can see that you really need the right thickness, especially when you car has a sunroof.
