You can purchase a large section of just the thin foam, spray glue it to the cardboard and then spray glue the original black fabric to the foam. Like a giant Oreo cookie. No need to buy new headliner fabric when the original still is OK.
Awesome, thank you Steve. Same process for my C10 though that was red and quite faded so I did get new material but used the same backing. Nice project for a hot day when you can lay it all out and let it cure nice. Appreciate the clarification
