Burb headliner questions

Has anyone tryed the kit from Brothers? My burb has no factory headliner. it has a welded on light over the drivers seat and what looks to be vinyl glued to the roof. The kit list that it has the bows. If no one has done this I may just buy it and post pic's if it works.

Re: Burb headliner questions

I bought the headliner from Brothers a few years ago, and after talking to a few local upholstery shops regarding cost I scrapped the idea.

The cost was in making the bows work on a roof that had never had them, and the trim work to make the outer edge look good. After all the ideas flew about on how to best go about this, I just figured I would make the hard board type headliner for my burb.

I did see some pic's from your burb and it looks good. Kinda looks like the Kemlight walls of a trailer. I might just do somthing like that.

Re: Burb headliner questions

Zellway,
Mine has the original white perfed hardboard with chrome divider bows separating each section. 4 bows I think. I wonder if any of the narrow body side moldings could be modded for bows.
