My XR6 like many others has a saggy head lining, my car has factory leather trim so I’m going have a crack at mine myself I’ve done a few in old Cherokee Jeeps over the years and there easy no curves, I often wonder why ford designers chose to have two tone interiors, black lower trim should have black upper trim, so I’ll strip the lin8ng shell out, pull the plastic trims out I’ll cover these in thin black leather, sun visors be bit more interesting coz of the vanity mirrors but there will be a way around those, the lining itself Id love to do I need leather but the cost would be prohibitive and getting a thin hide that would cover the whole shell would be difficult it would need to be sewn in sections but I can get black vinyl or maybe a black fabric I’d do away with the foam that what makes them sag it breaks down with age, has anyone attempted there own lining? After advice on what not to do, Id like to do the horn pad in leather too but the rim section up top has a worn section, anyone had there wheel redone? It’s beyond my skills, no doubt someone could do it, I’ll replace my door trims with leather ghia items and do the console lid or replace with leather ghia unit, the hand brake cover Id like to do too, I love leather.
