Is it possible to fit the black headlining from a 2 door sport in a 4 door.
Anybody done it ?

I dont think it is, I looked at this for a non-sunroof car and from what I remember the support rails are in different places

If anyone has a picture of the underside from a 4 door headlining I have a 2 door one here I can take a pic of

I have seen headlining paint. This might be a easy option.

2dr and 4dr front door apertures are different size with the 2dr being larger. I'm fairly sure of the truth that Dan mentions support rails being different as well. Pattern like for like if you have to swap.

i have this problem with my four door, tried to die it and not impressed with the results. local place is willing to chop mine at the seams and make me one from black material, think they want 150 for the privalidge though. i may go through with it though
