Minor interior repairs: any feedback? ^^

Ok so.. a few small things.. Firstly, my headliner needs to be replaced.. It looks like its been glued together and feel off again.. droops down in the front, looks really bad.. im assuming it wont be too expensive to fix, the 2 things I am worried about is 1. My passenger side air bag cover has been warped ###### due to the sun, i have NO clue as to what to do about that.. and 2. the Passenger side buttons for the window/lock sank into the door. The mounts that were holding them in place are broken and the manufacturer no longer sells these parts. BOO!! what to do what to do...

Well the headliner's cheap and easy, should be able to pick up a roll at autozone.
I've seen the airbag covers warp before, your best bet is probably goto a junkyard and get the front panels. Would probably be your best bet to get your passanger side button assmbly. You could always rig up the button assmbly, i have with zip ties, hot glue, super glue before etc.. But, it's not always the idea more just a temporary solution.

Headliner $15-25, 3M spray adhesive ~$13. Time to install, about 2 hours with a wire brush talking all the old foam/glue off, then about 2 hours to get the headliner trimmed to size then glued in, let it cure over night then do final trim and install.

The airbag cover does that... Most junkyards are going to charge you out the a$$ because that cover is a componet piece of the pass airbag assm. I took the thing apart and used epoxy to glue it back together, sadly its warping again in other places so it will need touchup's.

My drivers side switch did the same, I used 15min 2 part epoxy and glued the thing in, 4ish years now and still holding strong.

Here is what you do with the airbag cover, take it all the way off and reglue it with epoxy. We had to do is with 3 different DSMs in our group. It is a little work but it works out really well. As for the switch, go to a junk yard and pick one up. You can get it out of a Eclipse, Talon, and even Dogde Avengers. Yes I said Dogde Avengers. And there is the thing, if they try to charge you out your @$$ for it, take a pic of exactly what you want and I can pick it up for you at the junk yard I worked for. I live in Nebraska but I would be willing to hook a bother DSMer up if you need. Good luck.
