      Interestingly, the subtle cosmetic changes from the regular GTA's hurt sales...it didn't look much different but priced much higher. Today, those subtle differences make these more of a unicorn and that amazing drivetrain makes them very desirable, along with their rarity.

      Actually extractors are not a good idea neither is your technique no disrespect.. when cleaning a headliner you should try and use as little moisture as possible as the glue residue to hold the headliner will start to fall apart and the headliner will start caving in on you. I hope this doesn’t happen to you.. but the way i do it is spray a little bit of upholstery cleaner or shampoo than scrub like your doing I do it with a drill brush or a microfiber rag… than wipe off excess… pretty much extractors or steamers will melt the glue
