Default Headliner Help?

ok so my headliner was sagging for so long i got sick of it and i am replacing it

i currently have the headliner board removed from the truck (PITA!!!!! removing overhead console)

i noticed that the board it pretty flimsy does anyone know of anyone who makes a replacement, if not i can make this one work

and also where can i get the replacement fabric, i wanna use the same color, but i can't seem to find the taupe color.

i have put some of the interior pieces back in place looks pretty funny ill post pics later, also while i have the console out im gonna wire the switch for my fog lights up to it

as for the strength of theheadliner, yeah its pretty flimsy, mine isnt that great but its taken a ebating being removed and reinstalled into my truck several times. look on ebay for replacement fabric.. or just get black IMO... will look a lot better than the tan plus easier to keep clean.



hey if you dont mind can you get me a few measurements of your headliner for me?

i need the measurement of the hole in the headliner for the overhead console. the measurements that would help are:

total width of the hole, total length, how far the cut out is centered between the 2 square sun visor holes, and the total distance between the front end of the opening to the head (front) of the headliner even measure the bend to the edge. thanks a lot dude.

i dont want to do a different color headliner than the stock cause i got the "two tone" interior, gray on bottom, then starting at the columns between the windows the rest is that taupe colorok here are the dimensions starting from left to right on the picture i did three different measurements first
8.5" for widest point on the left,
7 5/8" for the thinnest part of the hole,
8" for the widest point on the right
18" long
distance from square hole to square hole is 14" so 7" for center of console
distance from center of console to the edge of entire liner 24.5" (taking into account for curvature)
2.5" for distance from beginning of console hole to front of liner (w/ account for curve)

hope thats what you were lookin for
