Bob, what you are calling the internal headliner is the top padding. The top padding is a sandwich of webbing, cotton padding, and a cloth cover. The purpose of the padding is to keep the top bows from telegraphing thru the top material and making it look like the ribcage of a starving horse. The padding sandwich is assembled inside out on the car top bows, working from the outside of the car, and is one of the first things done during top installation. In my experience, there is no proper way to replace the webbing with the top material on the car, so you will be essentially doing a complete top installation by reusing old components that have nail holes and is already custom cut, not an easy job. I would consider living with it like it is or expect to be installing a complete new top kit.

Look at some restored cars that have good fitting tops. To do a good job, your top needs to be removed. You also may need to put more cotton padding inside your pads while off. Make sure the strap inside the pads is secure too.

Same thing. No, I went to JoAnn fabrics and bought black Seat belt material and use that.

Could you butt the ends together and over sew it with webbing?
