I don’t have any pictures yet, but I’m doing fiberglass matte across the back where any cracks or weak spots are. I did the first pass last night, and most of the spots “cooperated”, but I decided the areas around the visors needed another layer. I’ll reassess tomorrow night and decide if I got enough on or more is needed.

There really isn’t that much headliner that is exposed in that area.
I know there’s not much in that area, but mine was actually broken off on both sides. It was broken around the interior light too. My thought is: I have $60 in materials so far...if I can end up with a good headliner, GREAT! If it is a fail, I have enough extra material, so I’ll get one of the ABS plastic replacement ones and recover it.
