[W126 Coupe] Headliner Headache

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Frank:

The headliner material in the early model years of the SEC was indeed cloth
fabric.  At some point (85, 86??) this changed to a vinyl material.  Where
you do not indicate your model year you'll need to apprise whatever source
you use of your specific requirements.

I acquired my material (cloth and carpet) several years ago from the
following resource:

If this resource is no longer available, try World Upholstery  found at
http://www.worlduph.com/ which I have also used with great success in recent
years.  Be certain to call and confirm the type of fabric they have
available as the web site does not specify cloth or vinyl which would lead
me to suspect it's vinyl.

Also, Chet Hwilka (who's on our list from time to time) did a nice write up
back in July 2002 with instructions and photos if you are at all inclined to
do it yourself.  I have Chet's web pages stored if you need them or perhaps
Chet can provide an updated link.

Regards,

Dick
