Failing interior

Well on my 190e the interior is starting to fail. I have re glued the back panels, center pillars, rear cover on the front seats and the driver kick panel. They look like crap now that the heat has gotten to them again. I used Dap Weldwood glue but it's not holding. I think the fabric is just old. So my question is where to go now? Should I just give up and buy factory parts? I think if I got new vinyl it would be too hard to stretch it to the angles, not sure though. Maybe take the factory panels off again and rip the fabric off and cover them with fiberglass? What have you guys done? The door panels are failing as well, at least the fabric on those isn't "floating". I wanna finish my 3.4 stroker for the car but this is starting to annoy me more right now. I just need to get the rods made, don't have the money for that yet.

Lots of 201s in the boneyards, look for used interior parts (preferrably from a northern car or one regularly garaged).

Not around here in tn. The last one I seen was a 16v auto (hopin it was a stick but nope it was a damn auto). The interior was complete crap. I liked the 16v seat belt pillars but the fabric was floating like mine. I guess I need to take a ride up north or something. It would be far too much to have the interior re done. My car is from Florida and was garaged. Didn't help it though lol. I found another failure point today, the center console.

I've got a dark-brown dash and late center console, but IIRC nothing else.
