Default Headliner dimensions? & seat electronic thingy

Ok I'm in need of re-doing my headliner in my 1999 discovery I....when buying the headliner material what dimensions should I buy?

And my second question is..the little black switches that move the seats around...what is that mechanism called? My passenger one completely broke and my drivers side one the ***** broke off...


Thank you!

64 inches is correct

Headliner express says you need 64" material for the headliner, which they sell. They say standard materials are 54" or 60". Not having done the job myself, I can't say whether 64" is necessary or not.

There's a write-up in the tech section on fixing the contacts for the seat switches, but if the plastic is completely broken, you'll probably want to source some switches from a parts car. NOS switches are very costly.

Thanks to the reply above this one!

So I can maybe get something that isn't exactly Land Rover switches to work? My drivers side has the full plastic and just the buttons fell off...the passenger is completely broken and the wires were taken off the plastic and stuffed in the center thing hole
