david, yeah the new ones are cardboard just like the originals were. i know they have plastic versions out there but i'm trying to stay as close to original as possible with parts that i'm replacing.

deluxe54, i was lucky enough that the headliner went in and fit just like the original, but i know what you mean about being a machinist, carpenter, mechanic, wizard, etc...fortunately i am smile i've never ordered anything from brothers truck before, but it's too bad you've had such bad luck with them.
