headliner recovering

[Eric Waterman]

I recovered the headliner in my B13 a few years ago, and I just used some
headliner material from Pep Boys and a can of 3M spray glue.  It was a
little thicker than OE, but matched pretty good.  I pulled the headliner
out of the car to make it easier.  The first time did not hold up as well,
but I think I was rushed.  The 2nd try did a better job.  It was much
better than the canopy look it had before either try for sure.
