Thinking outside the box, how about an aluminum headliner?

[quote="turtle1056"]the buckling is likely to be the piece growing in the heat.

Let me clarify. I probably should have not called it buckling. What is actually happening along the front is simply the aluminum sagging slightly between the clips that retain it to the cab roof. I re used the five factory clips that retained the old cardboard headliner there. More clips would have eliminated the sags. Once the sunvisors are re installed, I don't think it will be noticable. I have the headliner coated and reinstalled, and drove the truck today with no noise or rattles. I have decided to coat the sunvisors with the bedliner before putting them back in. I plan to do that this weekend, and will post pics of the finished job.
Thanks

OK, here are the parts with 3 coats of Rustoleum Bedliner rolled on.

Here is the finished installation. Going from grey to black really makes the inside of the cab darker. The pics don't show up very well either.

I don't know what the"ghost stripes" are in the last two pics. They are not there in person.
