hi all im just about to start the interor refurb on my van the headlining in the rear is carpeted and looking a bit dated my question is this.. is the headlining made out of the same material the doorcards are like a thick cardboard type material because mine has started to droop a bit ? is it possible to replace this with a thin piece of plywood that will bend to the contour of the roof ? ( its a tintop by the way ) thanks in advance jeff

I did that once in a 68 bay van. I used 3mm mdf if I remember correctly. Make sure to varnish both sides of the mdf before you fit it or it will twist and warp over time due to moisture and condensation etc.

that looks great thanks for the advice

you can get water resistant MDF now might be worth a look
