They still make that furry stuff you could get back in the 70's?

I have only had this car for a short time, but a headliner is a headliner. What makes this one so special? So, I can replace headliners on a half dozen various cars of my own and another half dozen of friend's cars, but I will fail at this one? That thinking and that attitude is just plain idiotic. I WILL do my own, and I WILL do it well, and it WILL last. You will see, not that I really care haha Some people!!!
BTW: Miata...that is a damn good-looking "waste of money". If I wasted money like that, I would be so happy! lol Great job bro!
I have said it before and I will say it again, and again and again for the next 20+ years on this forum.
That headliner is falling down and
YOU CAN'T STOP IT> The only thing you can do is replace or reupholster the entire headliner.
Lucky for you the cost is cheap.
If you can't afford $100 dollars then you shouldn't own this car. You can't patch the headliner on this car because the glue is bad from the factory and it will eventually all fall down. But people around here that have owned the car for less than a year think they know it all. What applies to your Mitsubishi eclipse ricer does not apply to the crossfire. I am a long time owner of the crossfire.
YES! SEVEN YEARS I am not an expert... but I have been dealing with this car long enough to know what to expect. My advice is based on my own experience combined with watching fellow crossfires dealing with the same exact problem
OVER THE PAST 7 YEARS! If others don't want to listen to my experience then you will never survive in the real world at a real job with a real boss. You will never learn anything if you are think headed and don't listen! Save yourself the time and trouble by
LISTENING to others around here. You would think that someone who comes on here looking for help would at least LISTEN to someone that has owned this car for
7 years.
You can redo the entire headliner yourself... or spend the extra 40 dollars to have it done by a professional. I decided to let a PRO do it rather than waste my time. My time is important to me... and I make too much money per day for jacking around with a headliner.
