CLS55 plus a few Ducati's
The headliner is a material called Alcantara. It is man made, designed to imitate suede. Google it and you will probably find distributors and then you can find a retailer from there....... found this in 2 minutes; try them

haha.. actually my headliner is not worn out, i use that as an example since i dont know how else to describe the material.
my side pillar is worn out and dirty from driving with the window down, and i smoke, so is truning black.. i like to rewrap both side pillar where the seat belt bracket is. and also the shift knob.

thanks for the info. i will google it and try to find a shop who can re-wrap.

we get all of ours from Gulf Fabrics. They are the only ones that seem to carry the original Alcantara that matches.
