Who is willing to pack and ship a Canadian headliner?

Somebody has got to take the plunge sooner or later.

Anybody up north willing to pack and ship a post-facelift, sunroof sedan headliner? '93 SS to be specific, but I'm pretty sure all sunroof cars will be the same. Pre-facelift *might* be the same, but I know the sliding sunshade is not.

PM me and we'll try to work out something.

Yeah, I'd like one too but for a 91 SS. I got the manual seat belts and those trim pieces make your headliner expose gaps and looks terrible.

How the hell do you make a headliner? Doesn't it have to be molded?

I'd still like a canadian headliner that'll match the interior pieces and the manual belts I got.

Anybody have a good headliner for a 91 SS canadian?

When you said Canadian Headliner I was thinking The Tragically Hip, or Bryan Adams.

hey guys just noticed this one

when you say headliner you just mean the cloth on the roof?

i have some time on my hands the next 2 weeks so I may be able to check the yard...

if you guys are close enough for combined shipping it would make things better for all of us i think

i am not sure what the yard would charge and also not sure what you guys are willing to offer on top of the shipped price

maybe we can work something out, BBS love is good, but so is beer money

:)

We're not close at all really. He's in California, I'm in Washington. May be cheaper to ship both to me and have me ship his to him from here, I dunno.

I have no idea what they're worth, maybe you should call up the junkyard and ask them how much they cost and we could go from there?

It's not just cloth we're after, we need the whole headliner. It's something like cloth glued to foam and then I think on top it's some sort of molded fiberboard type material if I remember correctly.

Reason being, we have done (at least I have) the canadian manual seat belt swap and the canadian interior trim pieces do not fit our USDM headliners. So it looks terrible.

yeah sorry, i glanced at the carpool comments and didn't look at your locations

ok, it's a long weekend here but I'll call and see if they will quote over the phone

i have supplied a couple sets of belts across the border so I am disappointed to hear that they don't fit cleanly

see what i can do for y'all

Thanks! I was pretty bummer too after spending like $150 or more on belts only to find out the interior pieces don't fit right and it exposes the roof in places where plastics don't cover it the same.

went to the yard today and the only 1st gen they had there had a busted interior

not sure what you're local yards are like, but here the SS is a rarefind

not sure when I'll be going again...

Thanks for looking.

I believe that all the headliners are the same shade. The only differences to look for would be sunroof or not, Wagon or sedan, and pre or post-facelift.

Yeah, I've only seen one SS at the junkyard and I missed it by a few days of it coming in and the motor was already taken along with other parts.

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling.
Bumping, Bumping, Bumping.
Keep that bumping Rolling,

Somebody must be holding onto one. Any post facelift sun-roof sedan will work.

Can't you add material to the frame and recover it? I'm planning on doing mine in ultrasuede. The headliner cloth is just vinyl that comes with the foam already attached to it. You can get it any place that sells marine or automotive upholstery material, though you'll probably have to settle for an inexact shade, but changing your belts out already loses you points at the concours d'elegance 20 years from now, so it doesn't really matter. In my blue interior, the headliner is a lighter shade than everything else in the interior anyway.

If you really want stock headliner, why couldn't you trim a non-sunroof model to fit? When you remove the old one, just trace the pattern and cut. Does the OEM sunroof not have trim to cover the cut edges? Would make it more likely someone has one.

I'm assuming that the contour of the headliner as a whole is different to accomodate the bulk of the sunroof mechanism. Every (non-Legacy) car that I have had a chance to compare, back to back, has had more headroom without the sunroof.

As far as adding material....I could, but that's my second choice for now. I trust my searching and patience skills far more than my interior fabrication skills.

Now, if interior trim was made of metal and I could weld it...........
