i've been calling dealers and the average price for a t-top headliner is about $160... ack! thats almost twice as much as i was told they'd cost...

can anyone possibly get it cheaper? part# 12525674

 

Do you need a new headliner, or is the old material just starting to sag/fall off yours? On one of my old cars (a 1988 Firebird) my headliner was all screwed, and I took it to a guy around my house and he took the old material off and re-did it for like $50 and it looked like it came from the factory. He did a real good job for cheap. If you want let me know and I'll see if I can get his number.

 

well the material around the t-tops is actually torn and falling down, and the area above the passenger's head is falling down. is that repairable? it'd require a whole new fabric at the least

 

How about you give Jason C. a call. Look up his email in the Tech sections.

 

i did and they wanted the most, like 175 or something

 

Yeah, the guy I brought mine too could fix that for you. Mine was in about the same condition (it wasn't torn, but falling down everywhere). He just took all the old material off, but new on and put whatever type of glue they use, and it looked perfect and held up perfectly for another three years (before we got rid of the car). I'm looking for the name of the company/guy that did it (he was off of 434 by the batting cages-if you know where that is-before 17-92). Anyways, I'll keep looking-and it only cost $60 when he did mine. You could also get new material and try it yourself, but I think that might be a pain in the ***. I tried it on one of my buddies car, and it didn't come out too good.

 

i know where your talking about. thanks for looking. how long did it take him to do it?

 

This is Erik 94TransAm (just at work posting under my brothers name). I took it up there in the morning and it took him a few hours--but I stopped by during the week to get a quote from him and he made sure he had the right material. Might want to stop by and set up an appointment with him. I've only used him once, he did great work-my dad just bought an older vette and is thinking about using the guy as well.

 

I hate this company but may want to check out www.tacreatinsusa.com awhile back they sold replacemtne headliners for T-top cars, new ones not junkyard replacements.


As for GM parts, sure I can get some for ya reeeeeaaal cheap i jsut walk around my apartment complex and yank the parts off of unsuspecting cars I have been looking for a set of salad shooters, and i know where you park

 

$109 plus tax is my price at the dealer. I usually get cost plus 10% like the GMPartsDirect price, but no shipping/handling charge. LMK if you want it.

wheres a good place near the ucf area to get my headliner fixed (non t-top car)? the actual material is fine, its just sagging and needs to get re-glued.

 

i was quoted 95$ for my non ttop headliner and that was for all new everything.

sunshine auto tops and interiors

has anyone ever heard of Dixie Decour World of Interiors Inc.? i called them today and got a quote of $79 installed for headliner for my car. They're located on Silver Star Rd off of John Young Pkwy. should i trust them to do a good job? i also called Sunshine Auto Tops and got quoted $95 too. i would like to get it fixed either fri or early next week.

 

just called up Ed's Headliner which is an at home service and was quoted $65+tax for all new headliner and installation. said it would be about 45-60 min install time. are these guys any good?

 

went to Sunshine Auto this afternoon and got my headliner fixed. total came to $101.18. it took about an hour and a half. really nice guys. i stopped by Dixie and there was no one there, didn't look like a good business to i went to Sunshine.

do you guys know if pontiac warranties their window motors? i got my driver side replaced just over a year ago and on the way to Sunshine my motor was playing tricks on me when i was paying tolls. i rolled it down, then it wouldn't roll back up. i got off 408 and pulled over then it went up. rolled it down again and it got stuck half way. 30 sec later it went up. i paid the rest of my tolls by opening the car door. on the way back the window seemed to work fine. will they replace it if its messed up?
