The perforations in the headliner just don't show like they should. Isn't there anything you can do about that? :geek:

Never before used screwdriver from the BobD jack bag ... now in rotation.
(the Road Warrior screwdriver is outside of Montgomery White Sulfer Springs VA where I had to take out the fuel pump yesterday- I'll pick it up next year ...)
