Subject: Re: IML: 55 Imp headliner recolor
> Hello Ted. It's possible that the stains are caused by something a little
more gruesome than mouse urine. I had the same stains on my '58 when I
bought it and it turned out that everywhere there was a stain there was a
mouse carcass. Apparently the little critters had tunneled through the
insulation above the headliner. For some kind of reason not all the mice
made it back out and died inside the headliner. The brown spots were a
by-product of their decomposition. If this is the case with your Imperial,
I'd strongly recommend that you replace the headliner and not worry about
carrying dead animals in your roofs. Have a nice day.
