Re: [AMC-List] Headliners

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

The backing made onto the fabric is the problem, unfortunately. You'll
have to replace the fabric itself. Pull the headliner, pull the fabric, 
then clean the panel with a stiff bristle brush (but not a wire brush!) 
to remove all the old foam backing. Then you can glue on new fabric.
Some cloth shops sell the fabric, but there may be places that
advertise relining headliners that will supply the fabric and do it
quicker and easier than you can. Since it's an unusalua car (mostly
they do GMs), I'd remove and reinstall the headliner myself. They
should give you a price break on that.

fabric is in very nice condition and I would love to put it back in.
Has anyone on the list done this successfully?
