Hi,

So in 1985 Vanagon, my headliner is in good shape but does sag 2-3 inches in the middle. I'm wondering if I should install the "GoWesty Headliner Bracket Kit" to prevent future deterioration/damage.

Here is a video: https://sendvid.com/y0154ycy

Any thoughts or perspective from anyone been down this road?

Hardtop or camper? It looks like something you could easily replicate with a piece of aluminum flat stock from HD or Lowe’s. You could even rattle can it to match. Still, it’s not much more to have something show up.

I added one to mine. It fit well. It ships flat and you have to bent the slight arch.

Its camper. Good call on flat stock, could be option as well, not sure which would save more time/money.
