F-Body T-Top fiberglass Headliner???

[Thrashdrums]

Hey, I tore my headliner down to replace the bad cloth, and one corner of the cardboard crap was broke and got acccedently thrown away, I am screwed unless I get a new Cardboard Headliner, and my friend suggested a Fiberglass one he heard of being offered? Does anyone know if these exist? and where and how much I can find them for and if they're worth it and will last, THANKS A BUNCH!!! -Jowee

Well just for anyone else looking for headliners, I have found some sites offering ABS plastic ones, has anyone used these or expierienced them? Thanks, -Jowee

I bought a fiberglass one off of eBay a couple months ago. It's great- there's no seam in the middle. I know some of the ABS headliners come in 2 pieces for easier shipping.

I couldn't find a new one either. I remember seeing them for sale a couple years ago and when I went looking for one, all anybody had was ABS plastic. I ended up paying more for my fiberglass one on eBay than an ABS one, but it was worth it IMO.

i have mine installed perfectly now, it came rolled up and i had to leave it in the sun to regain it's form but it was fine. I used bumper repair glue/plastic to fill in the hole for the dome light as well as the holes for the visors, i used fiberglass cloth to patch the holes w/ the glue. Then i glued the ela***r to it, the curves were kind of tough but when i was done i bought a roll of the door protection rubber and put it around the top edges. all in all it looks REALLY good and the wind doesn't effect it. the headboard was probably $130-150 counting shipping, then the cost of the leather about $15 for the 3m spray (highest grade) and the plastic abd bumper repair stuff, then the roll of the door edge stuff.

Did you end up getting an ABS one or a fiberglass one? My fiberglass headliner was already pre-covered in black cloth with padding underneath.

My headliner actually came folded in 1/2. When I saw the size of the box the UPS driver left, I freaked. I just knew it was broken in half. I opened the box, slid it out, and it popped right into shape. I would've thought the fiberglass would break, but I guess you can bend it to a point.

yea same deal mine was abs placstic and folded in half and it said to leave it in the sun to regain shape and it worked. mine wasn't covered in cloth but i wanted leather anyway...

Was it just off a private seller you got the fiberglass headliner or from a business? Remember what company you got it from or anything?
