So no one in the group has any input about the headliner re-covering, or what to use to clean the sticky old foam from pretty much everywhere in the interior?

My headliner recently fell too : (. Apparently if you can get a vinyl one from a 85? junk car it will work much better. As for what I did, I removed the old headliner fabric from cardboard, and power washed off the old foam off the fabric. I also scrapped off all the old foam off the cardboard piece in the roof after I removed it of course (its going to make a big mess if you use a wire brush to start!). There is a place on Grays road (Im not sure if your in the Ontario area of Canada, ) however they do body rebuilding, etc. I am going to look into getting some foam that should last hopefully at least 10 years. The name of the company is "Dura".
Good Luck

Type 44 knowledge is getting a bit thin here. Try the AudiWorld forum for these great cars. There have been a few threads on the headliner problem and a number of BTDTs.

I havent had a problem like yours in four type 44s that I have owned.

Antony, There was a headliner from an '85 for sale in the Audifans classifieds a while ago - shipping is a bit prohibitive, however as it is hard to package. Look at

to find an '85 at a yard near you (hint - search under alternator, starter, wheels, or something like that.) I have always wondered about using a large sheet of neoprene - preferably one that hasn't been turned into a wetsuit of course ;-). Cheers! Steve Sears
