Why not redo it? With mine I went to Joann Fabric and got this black felt type material (exactly the same as the headliner stuff only thicker). I cut the old stuff off the board and glued the new stuff on... It looks great and I was able to get rid of the map light without having a hole.

the stuff from walmart... what section was it in? and what was it called? How much did you use on the seats? i have some gift cards for there anyway and it beats buying new seats. i think i will just re-do the headliner with black cloth. where can i buy spray glue?

It was in the automotive section...let me see if I still have a pic of it.... it was only 3 or 4 bucks, I think I used two or 3 cans to do the front and back, possibly 4???
It was a while ago....

I'll see if I can find the pic

make sure the headliner glue is actually made for that. you need high temp or else it will fail the first hot day.

o. and you can buy it at pepboys. there is actually a whole headliner kit you can buy. glue is like $5-8 a can, and a whole headliner kit is like $40. avail. in multiple colors. i went this route with my lincoln and its been fine since last summer so far. and it was a hot summer.
