				| 
 |  
				| I keep hearing how great the ABS headliner is for our cars.  Where do I buy it?  Does it come with fabric on it?  And does it fit well with a hard top car? 
 My headliner has been in the garage for a couple years.  It's a little stinky now with garage smells.

				| I bought mine from Hawk's Thirdgen. I have a hardtop car. 
 First one, sagged in about 3 months. The glue did not hold it at all. Hawks replaced it for free.
 
 Second one, it's been about two years and it's starting to sag again. I will eventually take it down and re-glue this one myself. I may be able to use better glue and have better results, however at this point I would say that having an ABS headliner might mean that you have to re-glue every year or two.
 
 I think it's difficult for any glue to hold such a large expanse of fabric to that ABS on a hardtop car. It doesn't help that I have a black roof with a black headliner, so the temperature gets up there pretty good when my car sits in the sun.
