Head Liners!
I need a rear headliner for my 90, what are people thoughts on the raft of GRP / Fibre glass items that are available, verus the original Landrover fibreboard items?

If anyone has any experience of any of any of the aftermarket items could you share? - I can see La Salle, Simmonites, to name but a few sell GRP versions.

Many thanks!

I have a LaSalle complete headliner on my old 110 CSW. I probably wouldn't get one again.

Fitting was a bit of a pain - harder than a standard liner due to the stiffness. The front section didn't pick up the standard mounts, sunvisor mounts etc. But the worst problem was condensation - I'd previously lined the roof skin with foam, but there was enough temp difference between the fibreglass and the rest of the vehicle when cold that you would get condensation on the headlining itself which wasn't great, especially when it would leave dirty spots on the roof which made the whole thing look tatty.

i have to agree on the lasalle one .

we have tried the mudstuff one a few years back and that was great but they no longer sell it.

recently fitted the allmakes one and that was flexible and not bad to fit. it does need a little fettling for best fit.
we soundproofed the lr roof as well and added some extra fit tree fixings.
