Roadster Headliner
Anyone have any experience with purchasing a replacement. OEM Dealership is pretty expensive, so I was looking at options. but all these places offering headliners (such as autotopsdirect) have brutal reviews online.

I installed the Sierra top and headliner from AutoTopsDirect, BUT I bought through their Amazon store front to ensure I got Amazons customer protections. No issues with delivery or quality of the product. Installed it in December 2015, still looks good and no problems so far.

Seems hit and miss when searching for headliners. I'm going to assume there's a lot less risk with the headliner replacements versus a complete top replacement as it's a lot simpler.
Some offer OEM fabrics as well as aftermarket fabrics that are similar but also almost half the price. Just asking some questions about that now to one of the manufacturers to see what that REALLY means. Sometimes OEM materials are premium costs for no significant reason. |

Regardless of who you buy the headliner from, buy the BMW headliner fastener kit. The headliner has a qazillion little torx head screws that hold it in place and every single one of them is needed. If you drop one and lose it (and you will) you can't find them anywhere individually, so you still have to buy the kit and then you're stuck with the car torn apart waiting for the kit to arrive. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...l/54347110761/ https://www.amazon.com/Headliner-Con...006%3Abmw%3Az4

Topsonline.com has a non-OEM material replacement that they are stating is identical in performance and durability. Only difference is color and the type of material. Cost is $180 versus $280 for the OEM material versus I believe it was $700+ at the dealership.
Thanks for the link on the bits and pieces. That will come in handy |

On the head liner install kit, you may find it a bit cheaper elsewhere. I posted the ECS link because they had great pics of the contents.
