Can any one help?

Does any vendor still make them? The post I found was from 2007 and they no longer make them.

Or will I need to take it to a custom upholstry shop and have one made and installed?

I have a feeling it will soon be sitting on my head.......

Thanks for any and all help that leads me to one.

Well, total cost will be close to $500 with $100 Shipping and oversize charge and taxes etc. I'll use this as a last resort.

I appreciate at least there's something available.

You know you can do this yourself. JoAnns and other sewing stores sell foam backed material in grey, black or tan. Remove the headliner, be careful not to bend it. Clean the old board of all cloth and foam (its messy), apply 3M contact cement liberally and lay out the cloth. fold over edges and clothespin it in place (you will need alot) cut out holes for handles, sunroof, overhead consoles and visors.
next day reinstall liner.

That's the route I would take...headliner kits are availble for like $60-70 on Ebay & Amazon...what's the worse that can happen?

I will seriously consider your idea. My wife loves to go to Joann Fabrics. I will need to measure the roof and see what Joann would charge and decide if it's a better value than just buying on EBay. Thanks for the extra tips of clothes pins and so forth. I've really never messed with any interior projects. Maybe this one will take me to a new level and I can get a bonus from the wife since she's a Girl Scout Leader and Joanns supports the Girl Scouts.

Thanks again.......(y);)

crazy-ate also sent me this link and I priced it out to be between $450-$500 when it's all said and done. It's a choice but I need to see what the costs may be with buying the fabic and trying it myself. I was pretty good with glue in my grade school class........65 years ago. Does glue still taste the same???? They said it "might" cause dain bramage in children.

Amazon sells the foam backed "felting" tan, black and grey are the available colors, you can do this on your own, it's not super hard, clean hands are a must two people will be required, and some vids on tube will help, did my Yukon w a Egyptian cotton sheet and my wife helping. 3m spray on adhesive is the best for this. Follow directions on can, you can literally use any material from sheets to flags as long as it's able to cover the headliner surface. Hope that helps.

Did you get the headliner installed?
I joined yesterday and have lots of stuff left over from my build, including a nice grey 2dr headliner..
Holler
I have the fabric, and I went into the Blazer to eyeball all that needs to be removed to bring the
headliner down. I've done this 3 times now..........I keep falling to sleep in the back, I must have
made it too comfy back there with pillows and blanket and small cooler.

Actually I'm waiting for warmer weather since my garage is not heated. I only want to do this
once and do it at the right temperature......

I'll post when I get it done....and with pics, if it turns out well. If no pics, don't ask.
