My P38 hates me.

It just might be ganging up on you now, but none of these are (Mr. Slave from SP voice Super Serial!

I've had the entire HVAC reworked and replaced and still got the stupid testbook in a week. Everything works fine, it is just ignored at this point. Don't sweat it.

I have glass coverage, so a new heated windscreen cost me $50 (deductable). I believe you are probably looking at around $700 for a heated replacement without insurance, but I will check my papers this evening and see if I can see the actual price on there for ya. If I remember to check that is, always a risk. Possibly cheaper without the heat, but in cold climates it is very handy, although I don't like looking through the squiggles the rest of the year.

If this is your daily driver and in good shape, I'd have the headliner done by a good upholstery shop. It won't be super expensive and they will do a better job than you can and it will last.

As for #4, better material may be no material. That is, remove the old fabric and padding clean, and paint the fiberglass shell. I think some of the members here have done that, and been happy w/ the result.

Wouldn't that be a little noisy though without the padding? Just wondering.

As for materials, anything is probably better than the mouse fur that is OEM. Perhaps a faux suede or even something smooth and easily cleanable like a leather look vinyl? Your upholstery shop could probably offer some good advice on materials, that's what they do.
