Carl ,
I am envious that you have the A-1 Advanced Design Parts store just up the street that you can just walk to for your parts , however most of us rely on the internet parts venders and their claims of how their parts fit . In my experience 99% of the parts I buy in my “ internet-derived “ buying sprees fit just the way expected , and of course I have bought some pretty bad knockoffs but I knew that going in and not use and shelved ……...Not this time……
The discussion about the quality of headliners seems to be ancient , I decided to hopefully become part of a solution , not to help myself per se because I am already out part money + shipping , but to help the next guy who comes along and pay good money for a bad part .
We also had to suppliers Classic Parts of a America and BowtieBits taking your position that it is the buyers fault .
Yes , it seems that Rick and NPD is also trying to find a solution , it is highly beneficial for him to do so on many fronts , first he can sell this part with the utmost confidence that it will fit , and also he gets his admittedly Chevy Truck startup catalog face time in a very good market with Stovebolt .. Smart business savvy in my opinion.
So before we start blaming bad parts on internet buying inept wannabes , lets see how this plays out before assigning blame .

Dan, as I stated earlier, and very specifically, my comments were NOT directed at you. Your parts fitting problem is very real. My comments were to illuminate the tough spot which vendors are in when dealing with the onslaught of inexperienced buyers (again, not you). My apologies to you if my prior "wording" contributed to your misinterpretation of my point.
Carl
