$150-$200 is what i normally charge up here in WI.(GO PACK) i would (up here) recover it for $100 if you remove and install it. (i know you dont have the time) temporary staples do more harm than good. find a trim shop, have them color match it, then pull the hanging stuff off to get it out of your way.

This is the OEM Dodge model, though. The RB1. If I'm not mistaken, it has an antena that is hard-wired and goes through the roof...

My dad got his ranger ext. cab done; visors and his seat re-stuffed for $200 bucks at a Mexican shop; did a great job.. looks good.. better than factory.

Okay, I've got good news and bad news...

Good news: The headliner is out. Bad news: It didn't go so smooth...

First, I managed to tear the material between the front of the liner and the light. I didn't even have time to flinch, it just happened. FYI for all you manual trans dakota guys: the shift **** turns into a perfect headliner ripper, once the liner is off the roof.

Also, neither of the retainers for the visors survived. I have no idea how those were supposed to come out, but they ended up coming out in pieces.

Aside from that, everything went fine!

Yeah, that would have been very helpful... Yesterday...

Thanks though. It will be a great help for putting them back on.

Out of curiosity, are those the "Visor supports"? I was looking at the dodge parts website and that's what I think those were called. They're only $9...

That's funny. That's the same site I was looking at...

They also have OEM replacement headliners. They were somewhere on the order of $350, IIRC.
