Should be easy to handle with a T top.You may need some of the push on retainers when you take your dome light out. I have seen them at the hardware store here. They almost look like half a speed nut that come with speakers.

Hey, I'm a huge fan of working on my own car, but just thought I'd tell ya', check local upholstery shops. I had mine done at a shop that specialized in hot rods and stuff and he did a new headliner, sail panels, sun visors, all for $120 including labor and no tax. Just check, it might be cheaper and have it professionally done. It looked awesome and he got the matching fabric so it looks likea brand newcar....

i was gona buy the pre wrapped stuff. I dont have the skillz to wrap that plastic again, plus i dont know what kind of shape its in under all that old cloth. Currently the interior is a red color, but im gona make it black, so im ordering the things in black. And im not sure what a speed nut is, im not a audio kinda guy, a quick description of that would be good.

When you pull your dome light off you will see the retainers and say WTF!

I dont know what thier sexual preferences are[:'(]But they are a small flat rectangle pieces that push onto a stud. You can find the rectangle pieces but the studs may be hard to get. So if they dont come off easy cut them with dykes to save the studs from breaking.
