I recovered my original headliner in 1999 and it started to sag about 5 years later. I used 3M adhesive; I suppose the board may not have been clean enough? or else, that is about how long the glue or foam lasts?

My basic plan was to do this but make the board myself. Problem with getting a factory one is they are crappy and deteriorate. If I go aftermarket I'm not spending $250 on an abs backed one just to cut a hole in it and possibly crack and ruin it...
I'll look into the rod style one...
I don't think it'll crack......this stuff (ABS) is pretty tuff - h3ll, the new headliner is shipped rolled up into a tube.
Just be advised.........my headliner was a PUI piece, and the fit was crappy. Looked like a drunken sailor (no offense intended) had trimmed the board before the material was glued onto it. I had that piece in and out of the car 3 or 4 times - ended up that the HL board was 1 inch too long!!
PUI was no help either. They stopped replying to my emails after I sent them pictures proving it was their product that was at fault.
No manufacturer bashing here.............just the facts/a heads-up.
