I need to put a headliner in my 84 cutlass. The only one that I can find in briar brown is for a monte brand new from opg. Will this fit my car.

You could also buy an ABS plastic headliner, they're very nice and last forever. Then either buy your material and take it to an interior shop for gluing or just have the interior shop do it all.

Gbody dot com also sells the abs type... To answer your question, I thought that all g-body headliners were the same... I betcha Blake could answer this one...

I doubt exact matching material is made anymore. And if it is, it's going to be expensive. Just buy some material that matches closely, there's more than a few places online if you google headliner material. If you've never glued a headliner, I don't recommend the trial and error method.

My car is having the same problem, would you recommend re-using the original material if possible? I'm thinking of getting the ABS headliner & visors.

no, the material is a foam glued onto a thin layer of the material. It will no doubt look terrible if you re-use the old stuff. Gluing on a headliner is somewhat of an art, but the good thing is G body's have a fairly flat roof without obstructions which makes it easier. Buy some good quality contact cement and practice first on your old one with some scrap material.

but, if you've never done it before, take the material and headliner to an interior shop and they should charge about 50-100$ to glue it on.
