I was looking for some insight into what years have headliners that would work with my 95. I found one with a headliner in good condition at a local scrapyard but the cutouts aren't the same. I was wondering if it would still physically fit or not. Pictures below. I was also wondering if the RAP module posted below would work with the 95 as well. I was hoping to get a key fob working with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. They want 20$ for the headliner and 40$ for the RAP I was also considering taking both the sun visors for 10$ as well if they'll work.

I can't answer your questions as to what years are interchangeable with your '95...but, I can tell you that if you do try to pull a headliner from at least a '96 and up, you best bring a friend to help AND some means of transportation to bring one home knowing you can't just gently fold or roll one of these up. The foam/fiber backing is easily creased and broken and will not allow you to do anything but transport it in one large sheet. I tried removing one for my vehicle and quickly learned this reality.

Yeah I learned that removing it from the 95' but it was leaking and the headliner was soaked so that's part of the issue. The cut outs on this one aren't the same but 20$ for a headliner is a steal I just want to know if it will actually fit the 95'
 






Go figure...had you posted this yesterday, I could have checked this out for you while I was at a U Pull yard on the opposite side of town (some 45 miles away). U Pull close to home doesn't have anything older than '96 at the moment.
 






Hopefully I'll have my uncle's trailer to load the headliner on. I'm probably not gonna take the RAP since this 95 doesn't have a keypad on the door and I'm not 100% sure it will work with a fob. I'm also hoping someone will know if it'll fit or not. Been a pain trying to get this thing to stop leaking.
 






98 and up had the newer (like the one pictured at JY) / different rear hatch so I'm sure the ending/ back part there is different than our 95-97 hatches...also I noticed that one has an EVIC (with map lights?) at the very front whereas my 95 doesn't have that...but has the dome /map lights about 2' back...as I'm sure is the same with your 95.
 






Yeah it is the same but I haven't really seen any other headliners in decent condition. I wonder if the evic would work on the 95' but I'm not sure. Most of the older ones they had had a sunroof so not gonna work for me. And the newer ones have the air vents in the top so won't work either.
