Ok, So you don't want to spend the dough to replace the headliner...yet.

I understand, I had a shop quote $650.00 to replace mine because of the window removal issue.

I talked to a friend that mfg backpacks and bags. He said, and this makes good sense, that while you save your money for the proper install and replacement, just have a sewing shop sew the appropriate rod tunnels in to a piece of fabric and tuck the edges into the weatherstrip.

Then he told me about a guy that did this to his VW Bug, he had used spandex with pics of girls in bikinis on it, he said it looked awesome for about $50.00.

Just an idea.

Good luck.

Anything you want, all you have to do is try.

uuuuuugggggggllllleeeeeeee....

well, actually, if you don't have a sunroof, you could spray- adhesive

some of that foam- backed material onto it for maybe $100.

That's how my Mitsubishi was from the factory.

It wasn't PRETTY, but it wasn't the end of the world, either.

i tore my headliner out of my 69 because it was trashed. i too, didnt want to pull the windows yet. it looks crappy but so what. the rest of the car has tons of patina. its 100% mechanical but not aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. just drive and enjoy till you decide to pull the windows.

Not having a headliner is ugly. Just wait until it rains and you can't hear because of all the pinging on the roof.

Installing a new one gives you a chance to install sound deadening panels. That's what I did on my VW. Much quieter!

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
