The black fabric I chose was a compromise, I could not find anything like the original coth so made due with what was available.
Well, after some more hunting I think I've a good match if not the real thing. I've ordered a couple of yards so I'll take some pics of both fabrics together when they arrive.

Made in Germany for VW
I got the fabric and foam scrubbed off the headliner yesterday with a wire brush on a drill then a hand held wire brush. There are 2 metal frames for the map lights and the sunglasses case, they need to be bent up to remove them.
If you end up doing this, these frames are very thin and can be warped easily when bending back the tabs.
And these are clean again, removing the original cement holding the fabric on was bad enough but nothing compared to the Permatex spray adhesive I used. Went through every solvent I have and none of them worked, finally I got it off with fine steel wool and brake cleaner.
