Have you tried Legendary Interiors? I know they do replacement sail panels and the correct fabric for the SE, they sould do the headliner board as well. I recently took mine out to re-cover, and there was a manufacturers sticker on it. I forgot to make a note of the name and address!

Thanks but I do not see any listing in Legendary catalog.

You might try Hardens www.hardensmcw.com or or Layson's Restorations www.laysons.com

I looked in both of those catalogs and no listings, thank you for the input I might call all three manufaturers to be sure.

Hi. Did you ever find a supplier of the headliner cardboard? Mine is sagging pretty bad and probably can't be restored. Thanks for any info you can supply!!

The previous owner of my RT/SE found a way to dye or paint it (actually looks quite good). He told me no one remanufactures the SE headliner.
Since it's a formed cardboard piece ("normal" headliners are fabric/Vinyl and beams), and with the number of cars concerned, I doubt we'll see a manufacturer reproducing them soon.

I guess the only way to repair one nowadays is to take it out of the car (that's fun enough), reinforce or repair the backing with fiberglass and epoxy or something similar, and maybe reupholster it with the kind of fabric that's used for covering loudspeakers on homemade door panels (that can be found in several colors, easily enough in auto parts stores). that kind of fabric can be stretched enough to fit the curves, and it can be glued easily if the right glue is used (I believe 3M has several glues in aerosol form, including a pretty strong one for just this kind of work - a google search on sagging headliner will give the glue's reference, I came across this kind of info a couple years ago.)

Just wanted to say thanks to those of you that responded to my post. I have not found anyone that has them for sale. As for the last post mine is sagging and coming apart that the glue will not even hold the felt on, so I going to have an interior shop fabricate something. I will let you know how it turns out.
