The only thing is...
when dropping my GD3 headliner to piggy back my serious antenna with the stock antenna I was struck by how lightweight and flimsy the headliner is.
Vinyl is pretty heavy.
My thought at the time might be a black stretchy spandex.......
Not meaning to be a naysayer, (I hate when people do that).....just sayin...

Oh and it was a pain in the arse to pop all the side panels to drop the headliner. (I am better at springs, pulleys, battery etc than headliners I guess)

Yeah have somebody who really knows what they are doing do it, cuz a first timer would certainly screw it up.

Im not talking about the headliner. Im talking about the actual roof of the car. I think the vinyl people use for the roof is a stretchy material though. Should weigh anything. Let me try and find a pic of what im talking about.
