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. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
