Installation - Bow-type Headliner, Part 2 - Installation and Finishing

[@PartsUnlimitedInc]

We do not manufacture anything for the B3000 or it's Ranger cousin. However having watched our pro (the longer-haired gentleman in the video) repair a Camaro headliner, it's relatively easy. He reinforced it with cardboard and smoothed everything out prior to recovering it with headliner cloth. There are numerous webpages, videos and DIY guides on the net to illustrate this process.

I cannot answer that one. In my experience, Mopars are "funky" (an example is that not one body panel interchanges between a Cuda and a Challenger, who'd'a thunk it?) We've found so many odd-ball differences where we would never expect them from experience with GM cars that anymore we just take them in stride, say "it's a Mopar" and make the part as original, labeled as exactly what car it came out of. This car has been in my cousin's family since new, so that's the way Dodge made it.

I'm wondering if you can help me. I have a 1994 Mazda B3000 pickup I am restoring and the headliner board is made of what appears to be compressed insulation. Several layers have peeled off however there are a few left and I believe it is salvageable for re-use but because it is thinner now it is a bit flimsy and I am concerned about it's strength. Is there a hardener on the market I can buy to apply to the headliner board to stiffen it up a bit before I apply the liner to it? Thanks!
