Thats a great match Rich! You doing the whole headliner? I recall a post where the chap had stitched the headliner fabric to the hard liner then when the light cluster went in it was perfect. Can't recall who it was though :-(

Yeah it's not a bad match. Not 100% perfect but will take another look in daylight today. I am sure it's close enough. I'll do the whole thing I think.

Any supplier links as it is a good match, but I may also do the pillars for a perfect match to put my OCD to rest  :grin:

Looking good, :happy2:  the pattern looks spot on, would be close enough match for me I think. The original side trims may have also faded slightly over time

That is a great match. I hope you can fit it as neatly as the factory did. I detect a faff coming on  :grin:

Yes for the central part, but a lot like mine are gone/going near the sun visors on both side now.

Mine is a 2005 and was fine until this years heat wave.

I had mine done a few months ago. He used Flat Knit and a color called Charcoal. It too is a very close match...only a tiny bit darker; slightly noticeable some days and some days not at all. He order extra material and gave it to me, to do the pillars if ever needed or if I so choose.

When removing the original material he asked if I smoked in it. I said no, but I vape. He had me feel the foam backing and it was very tacky. He believes this is why the material began sagging.
