How to Fix Sagging Headliner? Posted By: mrcrazyhimself On: 01-04-2008 @ 15:26:06 Reply | Edit Anyone have any experiance with fixing the sagging headliner syndrome that seems to come with the 3rd gen cars? -- 1989 Pontiac Firebird with 2.8 Posted By: useful_idi0t On: 03-01-2007 @ 18:26:09 Reply | Top | Edit yeah, recovering it or buying a new one. the headliners on 3rdgens suck. getting an aftermarket one is a great route if you dont want to make one yourself. plus its backed with well molded abs, as opposed to cardboard. --  1995 Red Firebird Formula A4

As noted earlier the ABS backing keeps it's shape better than the original backing. I think Hawk's third gen parts has or had a write up on installing them. I did mine and if I can do it, anyone can! -- Brad 1984 Firebird SE- cream-beige- the prestige color!

Mine sagged when I got the car. It went almost straight to the shop to be fixed. -- 92 RS 5 speed. New stereo, 02 BLK leather SS seats and new springs Shocks/struts.

The rear disc is missing... Those wheels where on the car when I got it. They are gone now. Car is currently sitting on spares until I decide what wheels to get. I am stuck because I want something really lite. Something that will bolt on in the size I need with the proper backspacing. Not an easy task for a 3rd Gen! I am looking at just going with 18 inch TTII's with custom offset. I was quoted a price of around $1000 at my door but I don't know how much they weight! Tires are sitting here waiting on me! LOL! --  Posted By: IROCZman15 On: 03-06-2007 @ 23:17:47 Reply | Top | Edit bring it to an auto-glass shop, or interior shop, they will replace it for about $120 total, and it will look and feel great, and you wont have to worry about it for another 20 years, period. --
