Manual Seatbelt Conversion (Headliner)

Okay, so I've got everything from a 180sx to convert my seatbelts to manual, including all the pillars. The only thing that I have not been able to source, is a manual seatbelt headliner. For those that have done this conversion, what did you guys do to fill the gap of the OEM headliner? Or, if someone knows where I can get a JDM/Canadian headliner, message me.

I'm in the same boat. I have to figure out how to extend the edges of my headliner as well. I was thinking of fiberglass or a thick cardboard glued to the edges of my original headliner.

I was actually going to go to my local pick n pull and find another nissan headliner that has the same flat contour. Then I would make a template and cut out what I need from the spare headliner. I was reading that you can glue canvas material down in the back of both pieces to add strength. More than likely I'll have to remove / scrape the original foam off, and then glue a whole new layer of foam. At least that way it will look like one whole piece. Maybe I can show my process and post it up on here.

I remember several years back someone glued thick cardboard and shaped it to cover the areas needed.

Once you get it wrapped with new material, I doubt you'll notice it was missing to begin with.

Although I do have two JDM headliners (non-sunroof coupe and hatch). Kinda spoiled.

I don't know if you remember, but I still have the rocket dancer wing you sold me, years ago. If you are game to sell the headliner, I'd be totally down to cover the shipping.

Sounds like a pain in the rear.

My friend Tim just had this done to his car:



Might be worth asking him in his build thread here on Zilvia:

http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=654215&page=2

I was fortunate enough to have a friend from Zilvia located in Toronto source a Canadian headliner for me for $20 CAD and bring it over the border to Michigan- lucked out!

I'll for sure message him and see if he can provide any suggestions.
