kgb Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 James dropped my car off last night so I started calling this morning. Got a hold of 4 shops in the area. Quotes I got were $400-$760 Was hoping someone might know of a place that would do it for a bit less. I would attempt to do it myself but I barely have time in the day, Money is tight but time is non existant! The glass is out, old headliner is out with the rods still in it to preserve the order, the welting molding is out, got the new ebay headliner. If the things above weren't done, I would be looking at 1k+ :confused: Any help would be much apreciated Quote Link to comment
Colbino Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I'm in the exact same boat as you. However, I have a lead on a mobil interior guy whose work I have seen and it looked great! I have not called him to get a quote yet, but I will get on that and get back to this thread as soon as I hear from him. Where in the Bay are you specifically? He's in Benicia. Best, C Quote Link to comment

kgb Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I think I found someone that will come to my house and do it for cheap. will update when done Quote Link to comment
smashboogie Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I live in SF and will be in need of new headliner soon. please keep us posted on the work! Thanks! Quote Link to comment
kgb Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 It's done and done really well. I'm stoked as this is my first new one. He was recommended by the guy who did my motor and rack n pinion. The man does it at his house in east palo alto. Starts at 180, what I paid. If you want him to make the headliner, take the glass out, etc, the the price goes up. More pics to come when I get to a computer. Tough to type on aniPhone Quote Link to comment

I drove my car with just the windshield in all the way to the Kreeper's house, 3.5 hours. You can always take it off there and have a mobile glass guy come out and slap it back in when the headliner's installed. What are you using for windshied gasket? Quote Link to comment
Colbino Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I already pulled all my windows or I'd consider it. I'm using a combination of NOS & DATSPORT - when I don't have a choice, some Datsunlandsocal one's too. The front is NOS though. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 $400 just put in a headliner? It is because of EPA regulations about hazardous waste? Quote Link to comment
kgb Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 $400 just put in a headliner? It is because of EPA regulations about hazardous waste? Yes, that's exactly what it is. Not to worry, the EPA will be gone soon enough. Quote Link to comment
Double_d Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 nvm, looked on my iphone. I couldnt see the image with the business card. Quote Link to comment
kgb Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Could I get the contact to this guy for upholstery? I love in San Jose not too far from PA. I also have my rear windows out already so it shouldnt be too much of a problem. Thank you! see first pic, above....the one of his card. Quote Link to comment
