Re: Headliner problem/question
Hey Jenks I also took out my headliner and it wasnt very easy. I am currently waiting for formula to find my material. By the way they are going to take pretty good care of me for a 95. But what I was wondering will it go back together easier than it came apart. Some of the tolerances were pretty tight. I f the new headliner is any thicker I am little worried about getting it back together. Let me know Mark

NO! What I said is that in a used boat you have no way of knowing how it was stored season to season. Was it put away wet at some point? Did someone leave a side port hole open to the elements? There are a number of situations that may have happen and as a second owner you may not have the full store. I am willing to bet if you contact Formula tech service and ask about the material you will need to repair this problem they can cut and prep all the pieces you will need. And yes we have replaced a sagging headliner with parts from the factory.
now my boat is stored insde where it gets to 110 or so still fine formula screwed up thats it, just like my buds 38 f2 boat broken stringers

I have a small patch about 12" square that sags about 1/4" in my 2000 382. I have not yet decided what to do about it. Daryl told me last month that he suspects that the backing foam itself is deteriorating. Has anyone checked with their local auto upholstery shops to see if there is a technique that the pros use for something like this?
