I don't know who made mine, but it sounds like the same deal. It's quite a bit 
of work to make it fit. I'm not totally pleased with my final result. It's 
really hard to get all the wrinkles out of the rear corners. I found that I had 
to change a LOT of things, including going back and shortening the sewn-in 
tubes for the stringers. Keep your old headliner for comparison until you're 
SURE you're done.
