my 1999 plymouth voyagers head liner failed, its a very thin piece of
fabric originall glued to foam thats glued to cardboard.

so i pulled off the fabric exposing the foam. looks fine, except
moving the visiors makes for a bit of foam shedding but its not worth
spending hundreds for a new head liner.

the fabric peeled off easily.

the failure is really the foam falling apart..... from age
