AS AN UPHOLSTERER AT HTTP://WWW.EASTCOASTAUTOTOYS.COM I DO MAKE A GOOD LIVING OFF OF THIS ABOMINATION BUT AS A 2002 BUICK LESABRE OWNER, I DO NOT APPRECIATE THAT I HAVE HAD TO REMOVE MY DASHBOARD COVER ALSO CALLED PAD AND HAVE REGLUED AND REMOLDED IT 3 TIMES. NOW IT IS CURLING UP AT THE FORWARD ENDS AGAIN AS WELL AS BY THE AIR BAG. THE FRONT OF THE HEADLINER IS NOW FALLING LOOSE AND DOWN AT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AREA DUE TO ROTTING FOAM, {JUST LIKE LIKE THOSE OF THE 1980'S}. THE FOAM IS DETERIORATING AND TURNING TO POWDER SO THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE OTHER THAN REPLACE IT WITH THE SAME GARBAGE OR HAVE AN UPHOLSTERY SHOP LIKE MINE REPLACE THE FABRIC ON THE EXISTING BOARD. AFTER SPENDING 45 MINUTES REMOVING THE CEILING FROM THE CAR AND THEN ANOTHER HOUR REMOVING ALL OF THE ROTTED FOAM.....WHY ARE WE STILL DEALING WITH THE SAME SUN VS. GLUE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE SINCE THEY STOPPED DOING STRETCH CEILINGS IN THE EARLY 70'S? AS AN UPHOLSTERER I DO MAKE A GOOD LIVING OFF OF THIS ABOMINATION BUT AS A 2002 BUICK LESABRE OWNER, I DO NOT APPRECIATE WASTING MY TIME ... *TR
