This material was thin, only about 1/32 it's just that it couldn't stretch enough to accommodate all the curves. Our standard material, while foam backed, is quite elastic in nature and very forgiving at corners. It's too bad, it would have looked phenomenal, it had an ostrich print to it and was a close match in color to the original. I have already ordered some new headliner fabric and I have some ideas to make it unique. I may screw up but I never give up.
