It's actually called headliner fabric at JoAnnes. It comes in three colors, black, gray, and tan.

Great idea. When properly set-up, the swaybar should be close to 11 degrees upwards from horizontal.

Thanks.

I looked at the swaybar angle chart on the install sheet from JKS and it says the ideal angle for the XJ is 15 degrees with an acceptable range of 10-20. Mine measures 13 degrees, so I'm satisfied with that.
