molded ABS headliners - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**crossy** · 11-14-2007, 08:36 PM

has anyone tried these new ABS molded plastic headliners? especially in the heat???
just wondering if they hold up or not or if they are as crappy as the repro dash pads that were 'supposed' to be better.
A company called stock interiors is offering them. thanx , crossy

JC Whitney has sold them for years and the ones from there look real junky.. they come black b ut you could paint em they have places you could cut out and put speakers in but frankly if whitney sells em id stay far far away i never seen anything good come out of that catalogue

the ones i'm talking about come in various factory colors of cloth ove rthe ABS.
Pete's seats out of NC has made them in fiberglass for years and I think I'm going to call him. they are so large that shipping can be crazy though.

I have a company that supplies them and have sold a number of them with nothing but positive feedback.

**old Rusty C10** · 11-15-2007, 09:21 PM

bob, I don't want to post pics of a NON supporting vendors products.
I mainly wanted to get rid of mine because it is part of the 'ash tray' smell problem. the board is real good though and since i have plenty of time I'm going to remove the headliner board and throw it out in the rain a while. dry it, then put new material on it with some good glue.

BTW fellas- No type of spray can glue that i have ever tried , short of the expensive 3M 'SUPER' will hold up. 3m makes about 6 differnt ones. I tried to the pep boys headliner spray glue and no long term luck there either.
