    Hi guys, I have a customer looking for a headliner for a Buick he got the car with no headliner at all so my question is was it a hard or soft headliner in the car Originally ? And if it’s a hard one will this one fit https://www.stockinteriors.com/Items.asp?ModelId=31&MainCatId=7&FilterYear=1987

    Sorry if it’s a stupid question but I’m based in Ireland it’s probably the only one over here

    Any information would be greatly appreciate
    Thanks


    Hears the pictures he sent me

    Yes it was a solid panel. It looks like the listing for the headliner board is correct. Do you have all of the trim and clips?

    I wouldn't re-use that black factory deadener/insulation stuff. It's old & crispy. Near death.
    Instead I'd put something like FatMat or DynaMat up there. Lots of other brands.
    Run 3 strips about 8'-10" wide, evenly spaced,across the roof, side-side. Door opening-door opening.
    Do this in front of that brace.
    3 strips because odd numbered strips will cancel out any resonances. You could do 5 or 7 if you wanted. But they should be spaced the same distance apart as the width of the strips.
    Going across the longest distance of the roof panel is like when you put your hand across a guitar's strings in order to stop them from...resonating!
    So in behind that brace, once again running across the length, the strips would be running front-back. Different direction than the front.
    A full covering of the deadener could be laid over top of all that too, but that's up to the customer & it's really not needed unless there's a higher end audio system being installed.
    This is probably clear as mud. Lol!

    Pix! I have pix!
    Front-to-back. Because across the length.
