FJ40 Headliner: difference in quality between vendors?

[Wadesters]

Cruiser Corps definitely the cheapest with free shipping. Anyone have experience with quality? Thanks...

I was Happy with Cruiser Corps white headliner but their black one is kind of chintzy.

Thanks I would be interested in their white one. Is it off-white? Also, how does it come package rolled or folded thank you.

It’s been a long time but iirc it was rolled and gently folded. It’s pretty white.

Hmmm? I realize this wasn't the question that was asked, but in my experience OEM parts are best.

Somewhat amazingly, Toyota still offers the factory headliner and the price on ebay isn't egregious. Then you're getting "the real McCoy" as opposed to something that is probably a different color and quality. (In the interest of full disclosure I am not a fan of Cruiser Corps.)

That would be my recommendation.

Here's what I noted about the cruiser corp headliner.

I've now finished the roof and front bezel. The paint (investigation outlined in prior posts) looks great. Which brings me to a few other items to discuss in regard to successes and failures.

1. Firstly the weatherstripping around the top perimeter and windshield upper provided by city racer @Racer65 is spot on exceptional I used a bit of glue on the windshield weatherstrip left and right sides to "tie it down" while I put everything together. All of it is great.
2. Someone on here suggested using butyl tape in that very small gap at the front corners between these...

I've done several aftermarket headliners. I much prefer OEM, worth the extra expense in my opinion.

I've got one from Cool Cruisers of Texas

I'm content with it. I paid an upholstery shop to stick it on.

I used RV carpet (for lack of a better name)17 years ago and still looks great today. Off white. Heavier than the available replacement stuff. Of course it would be best to have the top off to cut and fit properly.
I think it might still be available at house-wife hardware.
