First gen headliner

[broad.named.maude]

The headliner in my '88 runner is dirty and torn, I'm thinking of replacing it with something easier to keep clean. Had anyone else replaced it with a polycarbonate sheet or a thin sheet of aluminum? Also, please post pictures of this if you've got them. Thanks.

Yup.
Used one-piece (not interlocking) version of "Best Step Anti-Fatigue Mat". Bought at Sears. Other stores may carry it. Zero maintenance. Stiff enough, you may not need any adhesive.

That's a cool idea, act's as insulation as well.

Old thread revival. That's a great idea. Trying to find something as similar as possible in grey. Is the diamond plate pattern on both sides of the mat?

Brand is Best-step. Available in many places. Pep Boys, Big Lots, etc. Got mine from Sears.
Only one side has diamond plate pattern.
