RE: [A/S] Headliner falling



Hunter,
The Bambi uses a different headliner material than the Classics.  In most,
but not all of the Classics, the headliner failure was due to the foam-core
deteriorating which let the vinyl material drop.  On the Bambi, the walls
and the headliner are all the same material (ie the fabric type covering
used on the lower walls of the Classics).  This material does not have a
foam core and it does not suffer from the foam heat-related failure of the
vinyl material used on the Classics and longer Safari models, but A/S did
not do a uniform job of pressing the fabric into the adhesive, so some spots
will turn loose, but adequate pressure seems to solidily reattach the
"bubble" areas.
