If these are the proper clips, I'll gladly post one to you, if you like.

They work! Had to pry it open a bit, but near perfect fit. Also available on Amazon, if anyone needs 'em.

Rothwell, do you have any leather left to sell? I'm going to do the same thing as you did and nothing I've found comes close to what you have. Let me know. Great work.

Sorry, I sold the remainder to another local forum member. The source I used was Global Upholstery

Thanks for your quick response.

I don't really need genuine leather, but your upgrade turned out so nicely I thought I'd ask. Unfortunately, now every time I see my own sagging ageing "oatmeal" headlining, I'm a bit embarrassed. But that also motivates me to add this to my long list of winter projects. I'm going to stop by a local trim shop this weekend and see what they can recommend. I'd rather not have to buy a whole cowhide.

I have a few questions about the recover:

· Did you use any foam or other underlayment between the leather and the A-Pillers or the header? Typical headliner material is foam-backed.

· How has it all held up since October 2022?

· Is there anything you would do differently? Better? Not bother with?
