Headlinermart.com May have it and as far as Mouse piss get rid of anything fabric for it will never come out.... i.e. Carpet, headliner etc. Mold on the Plastics I used Simple Green to cut thru it and Dawn (green version) Dish soap HOT as you can handle water took a few times with simple green and hot water then Dawn, Then you can redye or paint back to match where faded

This might be a long shot, but if you have a piece that you can't easily replace and no other method works, you might try Simple Solution.  It's an enzyme cleaner that's used for dog & cat urine/vomit and it works well -- you douse the stain (be generous) and it literally eats it.  However, I'd test it on a hidden spot first -- it works fine on carpets, but I don't know if it'll have any damaging effect on vinyl or interior fabric...

I've tried cleaning several headliners with various products and those dirty, moldy, cigarette smoke stains never come out. And, of course, white is absolutely the worst. Agree with Limey that mouse piss is grounds for throwing it out.

Acme headliners. Google it. Rockauto has them the cheapest at around 80 bucks. They have been making factory interiors I believe since the 20s. They have all the correct patterns. Double check the color match. 73 did not have a white, it was actually called "neutral" and its like an off white. Not a pure white like on later year lagunas. Just fyi.

Maybe some of the proffesional car cleaners can help you. Im in the car business and when we have a rentalcar with blood or other body fluids like urin and such they can work miracles cleaning stuff of others will not be able to. Of course it costs a bit, but comparing to the cost of replacing it Might be ok.
