So my headliner is sagging and I don't know if it's worth the trouble to redo or just pull it for good. Let me know what you think. I have a classic so I also have the middle console to remove and redo as well. Let me know what you guy think. It is also my DD.

redo it. it's not that hard. mine is a '98 classic with overhead console and i used joanne's camo fabric on it including the ohc and sun visors. think it looks goofy without headliner. here's pic without headliner to give you idea how it looks.

I second what Slowjunk said. It looks like crap with the liner gone and additionally you lose the sound insulation/dampening as well. Mine sounded like driving inside of an oil barrel while it was out.

Catch the 50% off coupons at the fabric stores, Hancock had like six different shades each of gray and tan headliner fabric.

Mine wasn't sagging that bad so I reglued the trouble spots for now. I'm considering pulling the panel, stripping off the foam and painting it with spatter coat. I may buy the headliner material from a fabric store but it will just sag again.
