gdat mate
the seat is easy to fix it will be the part on the base of the seat that has snapped off if your drives seat locks just lean it forward & youll see whats missing when you compare the 2

Hiya Cento,

the SE headliner replacement was covered in this topic:

http://challenger.mpoli.fi/forum/viewto ... +headliner

The fabric is available from Legendary Auto in the States. It's a foam-backed brushed nylon similar to what you see in Motorcycle helmets and camera cases. I've just done the job myself and it came out really well. Just a matter of stripping the old fabric off the headliner board and re-covering using a contact spray adhesive. If you want any pictures or advice please feel free to Pm me!

gday
the head liner in my se was replaced before i bought the car, so untill i read a few posts i was unaware that it was moulded cardboard as mine has been done with bows to stretch the vinyl the way they were always done, i was wondering how the console was attached as mine was in the boot when i got it, but it looks good done the conventional way so im not going to change it, if you dont have a headliner at all you may want to concider doing that unless your going for originality
