head liner repair question.

[83Eagle!]

Mine was over $100 with no install.  It included the visors, which I wish I would have done myself.  The headliner looks fine, but the visors look like absolute crap.  I think I could have done the visors myself blindfolded better than the upholstry guy did.

I want to dig around the salvage yardsfor some illuminated visors...mine are shot and if im spending the money to recover them I may as well get some fancier ones.

I thought about doing that as well as adding a rear view mirror with the map lights on it like my Saturn has, but I did not know how to do the wiring.  I am horrible with wiring stuff.

I removed and installed mine as well.  Mine was perhaps a little more involved because most headliner replacement is done with a pre-fabricated headliner material that has foam already attached to it.  They didn't have purple in the actual headliner material so I had to buy material and foam seperately and they had to apply first the foam and then the material rather than being able to do it all in one step.

Keep in mind also what headliners are interchangeable; I put a headliner from a Spirit Kammback into my SX/4 Eagle.  The Spirit was an inexpensive model and didn't have fancy trim, just vinyl glued on a piece of cardboard. 

A headliner from a Gremlin will work in a Kammback or SX/4.  These are just color printed on a piece of cardboard.  If you get lucky (like I did) you don't have to paint or recover anything.  The parts are original, and you can save some money.

Thats a good question. it would need to be somewhat flexible yet ridgid. There are several companies that make moulded headliner boards out of abs plastic that pop right in.....Unfortunatly they are only available for your more popular cars....novas, callangers, mustangs, etc.....Nothin for AMC....not even AMX's....maybe we can file a discrimination law suite!
