I'm looking for the vinyl headliner panel that covers the sunroof. Should be untorn and relatively clean, i.e. no watermarks or stains that won't come out.

Ideally the panel will come from a car equipped with a manual sunroof, but I suspect that an electrically operated sunroof panel would work with minor surgery.

Color code is 134 "Datel" from 1982 (1981 should also work, maybe even 1980). The headliner panel from a "beige" interior car (or others?) might also match but I'm not sure. I might also entertain a panel from a 135 car "palomino".

Matching material is NLA and the closest match GAAH advertises is NLA. Mine became torn while R&R'ing a sunroof latch handle issue.

Thanks,

Thanks, but white won't match.

The panels and headliners for manual and electric are the same size. If you find one from an electric sunroof, which will probably be the case, youŽll just need to make a couple of small cuts in the material for the locking T handle. You would be better off finding one locally. The cost to ship one is going to be a bit spendy due to the size.

Yes they are the same minus the spot for the T handle. After more than two or three years of searching locally, I actually did find a suitable panel from an auto sunroof car. Though it's not perfect so I'm still looking, albeit not as aggressively as before.
