Shortly after picking up Ulla, I tired of the sagging headliner fabric blocking parts of the rear view mirror and the passengers complaining for lack of headroom...they had plenty of other things to complain/worry about at that time anyway...so I took down some of the loose fabric, behind the sunroof area. No orange dust on my head!
Replacing the headliner has not been a priority, but I'm planning on the near future now.
But, that's not the point of this post.
The headliner fabric on the sunroof was really starting to bother me. If the sunroof is closed, it sits on my head, and I don't like that, so I removed that, too. Thankfully it came down eas
ily, and with minimal orange dust. What I found under it though was pretty much awesome (see pic).The condition that the sunroof is in underneath of the fabric was pristine, and has this odd, utilitarian look to it. I kinda like it, and so do other people. It reminds me of a number of early 1980's BMW's that I've seen over the years. I don't know if an un-upholstered sunroof was an option, or just a popular thing to do among the community, but I'm taking it for my own and leaving the fabric off. I'm taking the sunroof out to clean it up some and re-seal it so it stops rattling, but other than that, that's it, no fabric. My first customization instead of just restoaration.
The first thing that says she's "my car."
