Hello Fellow Imp Owners!
 
I have two large rust colored spots on my otherwise
perfect headliner on my '55 Imp. One above
 
the left visor and one near the dome lamp housing. I
suspected mouse urine, as there was 
 
also a pile of insulation in the trunk-however-there
is no odor and I'm wondering if the cause 
 
could be condensation from the inside of the roof?
Perhaps where the insulation was removed? 
 
Is there insulation between headliner and roof?
 
There used to be a spray color for fabrics that might
re-color the damage. However, I can't find
 
the paint any more. Does anyone know who sells it, or
what brand it might be labeled under?? I
 
hate to remove the headliner-it has no tears in it.
Any thought appreciated. Incidentally-rodent damage 
 
these cars is pretty common, especially if they aren't
moved for awhile, like over the winter. Any sure
 
fire means of keeping the little s.o.b.'s out of our
cars?? Short of installing a cat, that is---
 
 
 
                                                      
                                 Thanks, Ted
