Re: Headliner and sunvisors, aftermarket decent or no?

I just restored my 96 GMC, 2 door extended cab headliner. I recovered the existing OEM headliner foam board. The fabric material & glue can be purchased at a local supplier or online (amazon, etc.) for about $100. I did it all by myself without any experience, but I recommend getting a helper to make it a lot easier.
Look at it this way, if you purchase a new after-market headliner & pay for oversize shipping, you still have the labor to remove the old liner & install the new one. It is not much more work to remove the old fabric & glue on new fabric on your existing head liner foam board. If the existing headliner foam board is damaged, it is easily repaired with duct tape on the reverse side (roof side) prior to glueing on the fabric. My headliner turned out with only a couple of small "puckers" due to not having a helper to lay the fabric down on the glued headliner. You-Tube has many good installation videos too.
