Hi, I need a new headliner for my single cab pick up...I have the old one but its shrunk and gone hard so attempt to refit failed somewhat, soo I need a recommendation of a good trimmer who could either make a copy of my headliner for me to fit or come and fit one for me, untill I get this done I can't get on with the cab glass etc,
Any suggestions?

I'm sure any of these companies could do it for you (caravelle type shown in the pics) but it is not difficult to do it yourself, just make sure you have 3 inches extra put on if you use your old one as a pattern as you will never get it to fit exactly as the old one. Try googling headlining material.

have you tried putting in a warm room / airing cupboard for a few days to soften / expand.
the idea is you strecth it in and it reshrings pulling it all taught!
