Regarding leather headlining material, when my motor trimmer son-in-law and I were doing the retrim for my Patrician (cloth and leather), I asked about the possibility of redoing the headlining in matching leather and his response was that leather would be too heavy and most likely sag before too long. Therefore, as my grey brushed cotton headlining was in pretty good shape, we decided to leave it unchanged. The previous owner of my car is of the opinion that this headlining was not original but I can't remember what he said was. By the way, we picked the leather upholstery colour by matching swatches to the vinyl front door window trim (dash extension). Cheers, John
