84 SVO leather headliner
I realize this is pretty obscure but here goes. A friend of mine has
an 84 SVO with black leather interior/headliner which has been coming down for awhile but not ripped. The local apolstery legend has told her that if he fixes it , it wont last very long, also to replace it he says he cant find the exact matching material. She suspects hes just trying to get rid of his current stock of material. Anyone know if theres kits available for it? Or ever dealt with this situation? All I know about headliners is that I never want to try installing one. Thanks, |

84 SVO leather headliner
I redid the headliner on my '86... It was vinyl, but hanging down all over.
I got some cloth velour material from one of the mustang places. A little bit of a PITA to get the old foam off, but now that it's in it looks better than new. I like the velour better than the vinyl. A decent upholstery place should be able to get you the right leather pattern. Biggest issue is the backer board, be careful with it. Use a wire wheel and a light touch to get the old foam off. A little 3M adhesive spray, and lay the material on. Use a roller over it to make sure it gets a good bond. Leave plenty of extra material around the edges, trim after you get it in place. Took me an afternoon, and I had a sunroof to contend with. mkl > wrote in message ... >I realize this is pretty obscure but here goes.
