Oh man, will that work on my "13" Steve? I just went to get an estimate for my falling Headliner it was $300 over the phone. When I brought the car in it went to $850 ??? They said because of those pockwt or cavities on the upper rear section, he said he'll either have to fill those in or try and steam the liner to take that contour. We still don't know what those cavities are for he said their some kind of "crash pocket" ?? Is he just blowing smoke or should I try another upholstery shop?
Thanks

That makes sense, I guess I never missed them since there aren't none there. I just got used to throwing my clothes on the seat lol. I'd just be happy with a nice clean headliner that wasn't drooping down, but not wanting to spend $800 bucks.:)

Find a better upholsterer, my guy stretched my material in there no problem.

This light is only for the 14+ but 11-13's got optons for maps, just got to get them from AUS or a G8.

No, just going with the same color maybe a bit darker, gonna keep it as Sleeper as possible. Finally found a local shop with some old timers that said it can't be any harder than a Mercedes and there beeing very fair at $250.:)
Just removing the spotlight for them and been fudging to get the front dome light assembly out without breaking it. 🙄
