Do a TEST run. I kid you not. Couple square feet out in the open air, on some panel with some contours.

Indeed. I'm not yet concerned how the thin foam will look, I'm just curious how the original fabric is measured (so it will fit properly once installed). There seems to be some agreement that Volvo headliner fabric should be pretty thin. Is 1/8" the height of the fabric? The foam? The combined height?

Where would you find it?

Well I've tried Google. That turned up a bunch of Canadian firms, a bunch of people selling stuff at least 1/2" thick, and really not many useful results.

I've got pretty low expectations for the local shops for sure. I will probably end up starting with the rest of the interior panels (doors, pillars, sunroof, etc).

Unfortunately I've just blown a nice wad of money on something a bit more important: motor mounts. Man.. even at a discount the aftermarket units are spendy.
