Alright I just removed my Headliner out of my GT and noticed that it's broken in half in 2 locations. It looks like they were done by the original person who took it out before me. Trust me I took it out as easily as possible. Now I want to fix these breaks what should I use?

I thought about using Fiberglass Resin in the break would that work or does a specific product exist for this?

1st, sweep off the board with a broom to remove all of the old glue and headliner material. Then put the pieces back together with fiberglass mat and resin, then coat the entire board (both sides) with resin. It'll come out fairly solid. I just did mine (broken in 3 spots) and haven't had any trouble with it since.

I just came back from outside I had all my extension cords out there with lights, just finished removing my rear bumper. The only parts on my car left now are the door skins and the fastback clip... the rest of it is naked

You got a Naked Fiero?
Better throw a blankie on the poor thing,(might be embarassed if somebody sees it without any "clothes on") unless it's one of those rare "exhibitionist Fiero's".

I believe he is removing his body panels so that they can be prepped for paint. Headliner must have been one of the other things he is working on.

You can fix it with bondo (lightstraned) and drywall tape. It worked well for me.

bondo and drywall tape? No. It is made from compressed fiberglass so use 'glass resin and cloth.

Use thin CA glue. Its available at most hobby stores and it works great! Just put the t pieces together and shoot some CA in the crack. VIOLA! instant fix

I guess the CA glue. Cyano-acrylate. Or crazy glue/super glue. But I think it would make the joint really stiff and it would just crack next to the joint. I would much rather use 'glass resin on the whole thing and make it all strong not just parts or it.
