    I know you have LDOs and I was wondering where you got the headliner for them if you did replace them. There are the regular Maverick headliners with all the tiny holes, and then the LDOs have the leather like ones that match the seats. Where did you get one, I am having a heck of a time finding any info on where to find one. Most people don't even know what the heck I am talking about. Thanks for any info.

    Your best bet is to go to an upholstery shop that does cars and ask them. My guy was very knowledgeable about the materials in my Sprint. If you cant find one, let me know and I'll stop by and ask him.

    sorry for late response. i kow what you are talking about though.. most will tell you they never came like that... and think that you have no idea what your talking about. but i hear ya.

    anyhow sorry but my headliners are orignal.. no tears, rips or holes... just got lucky! so sorry no help here. if i hear of anything i'll shout it out to you. but then again like Mavaholic said... go try an upholstery shop.

    good luck!

    Thanks Maverick Man. My original one was pretty good but it had a few rips and discoloration, so it was gone. One upholstery shop told me that it wasn't possible to have that thick of a material for the headliner. It would sag immediatly. Sounds reasonable, but why did the one that was in the car for 30 years from the FACTORY not have a sag or wrinkle in it??? They didn't know what to say, so I went to SMS Auto Upholstery in Oregon (Thanks for the referal Mavaholic!), and they are making me one in the exact material, color, and pattern for the LDO Mavs. For original upholstery that can't be found they are very helpfull. Mavaholic's entire Sprint interior material was from them. Can't get better than original!
