Hy capacity has good kits as well as Fehr cab interiors. Not sure who’s a dealer in Canada for them. I’m a dealer for both.

I have got them from Carroll Imp in LuVerne, Iowa. Hy cap brand. When reinstalling, dry fit first. Start with the fenders and work up. Drill out the rivets in the right hand irons and the headliner comes out some what easy.

I put a Fehr cab kit in our 6080 in the fall. Very good quality looks identical to the original. Highly recommend. Google "Fehr cab kit" and you can order right on their website. Best to pick it up when you are in the USA. It comes in a huge box!

Fred I,ve installed Hi-cap kits in both of our 8010,s, the first was 5 years ago and it wasn't too bad but not great, did the 2nd one 2 years ago - it was not nice. Long story short if I ever do another one I will use a different brand! Dave

I put Fehr headliners in the 8010 and 8050 last winter. They fit really good. Only advice I can give is cut the holes for speakers and radio out at a 45 degree angle that way if it’s off a little bit you don’t see a gap. Made that mistake the first time. I ended up making plates to go behind the speakers to cover the hole.
Also. The head liners go in and out the back window. You will be pissed off if you try to go in through the door. Don’t ask how I know

I have redone three 8000 series tractors with Fehr cab kits and they look great but don't hold up, the vinyl comes loose form the foam especially on the head liners. My tractors do not set outside except maybe during planting season and rarely at that. The vinyl started coming lose after about four years. I plan to contact them about this but haven't done so. Maybe tomorrow!

Fehr is a great company to get kits from. Ive installed 2 into both of my 8070's. The first one being 8 years ago and still looks new and holding up great. In fact, i just bought 2 gleaner cab kits from them. Just waiting to make time to get them installed.

I know the correct police will crucify me, but I removed all the foam/vynl, then sanded, taped and spray painted the interior. The headliner, I brushed on a textured matching paint. It took a little time but I've done it on both 8050's and have no regrets. I think it looks as good as new. And yes, the head liner has to come out the back window. The foam/vynl just isn't durable enough, especially when you start mounting monitors, GPS systems, fold boxes and so on. The noise level is no different than our 8070 factory cab.
Just my 2 cents.
