I talked at length with an upholstery guy about alternative fabrics - I was specifically interested in this stuff called "suedeliner," which a synthetic suede on a foam backing, like the original stuff. The primary issue with Saab (and other) headliners is the surface, which is not flat. The factory knit stuff is stretchable and formable, and it'll follow the surface. Other stuff - especially the foam-backed vinyls - won't stretch and won't follow the shape of the dome light or grab handle areas. It may be doable with enough patience and enough glue, but probably not and it wouldn't last... Kind of a let down, but it was good to talk to a pro before spending $50/yd on a pending disaster...
