I am repairing mine, but it doesn't look so good, so I might opt for a new one. I have searched oemparts, and found one on pelican parts for 280 buckas, but I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find one for cheaper. | | | 02-20-2007, 06:58 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: SOUTH Jersey Posts: 1,085 | I got the foam from JoAnns. unfortunatly my local store has sold out all their heavier fabrics to make way for lightweight spring and smmer stuff. When I get home tonight, I wil get you the webaddress of the place got the fabric itself from. I got a great deal too | | | 02-20-2007, 07:52 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Los Alamos, NM Posts: 344 | yea, I tried using the original sheet of fabric, and it shrunk when I did the heat bond thing, so now it doesn't cover the entire headliner, and looks like crap. so I am prolly gonna sew some black cloth around the outside of the headliner for a temporary fix. I'm getting kind of tired of not having the headliner in. | | | 02-21-2007, 12:56 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: SOUTH Jersey Posts: 1,085 | I got my fabric from an online place called "Fashion fabrics club" and the price was about half of what JoAnn's was going to charge me (when they had microsuede) so I got 5 yards.. this allowed me to do the headliner, the four pillars (still waiting to do the A pillars) and the sunroof cover. I am glad I bought more than I needed, I would up wasting a yard due to my rushing things. And that is my advice to you.. do NOT rush things. Take your time and when you start laying the fabric down, do about 4 inches at a time. | | | 02-25-2007, 09:02 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: la jolla, ca Posts: 222 | A local place here will do it for $225, so I would rather not bother with the tedious work...mine is pretty bad too haha. __________________ Present: `99 M coupe Past: `91 330is; `95 318ti Active; `93 325is; `97 318ti Sport; `89 332is | | | 02-25-2007, 04:15 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: SOUTH Jersey Posts: 1,085 | I didn't find it tedious, but then I am sick bugger who enjoys most aspects of working on a car. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
