Default Very BAD Headliner purchase

Where do you guys suggest purchasing a new hardtop headliner? I am the original owner of a 1995 Formula. Went to "fbodymotorsports.com" now called "youngsfbody.com". The original lasted me 12 years.....the youngsfbody.com lasted me a whopping 9 months and the glue is giving way, and the heavy plastic backing sags a good 2 inches at the center. Customer support stated buy a new one or re glue it. Now they simply wont respond after telling me I am WAY beyond my warranty....really..9 months? I asked about the length of the warranty period and no reply. These things are not cheap. I have been scammed Thanks

I installed a headliner in my old Camaro, it started to sag on me also at some point. I went to the local auto parts store and picked up a can of compressed headliner glue. Sprayed the CRAP outta the headliner and roof and pushed everything up. It was fine after that. You could do that for now if you want, or if your serious about it go to a shop and ask them to take care of it. Fbodymotorsports is way overpriced for me, somethin makes em seem fishy

Thanks for the input guys. I feel a bit better now with some options, both short and long term (out of work at the moment). Still sour with a new item and youngsfbody.com's (fbodymotorsports) horrible support. After this experience, I agree, something is fishy with them. I was taken for a ride.

Funny, they finally got back to me after 4 days. Their return policy is 15 days....way to stand behind the product fellas.

Buy my hardtop headliner. I'm tired of this thing sitting around my apartment. I'll give it to you for next to nothing if not nothing. Just pay the shipping, that's the killer. It's like $80 to ship these things.
