I need to replace my door seals. What is the best on the market for that application ? Cement? Also I need to replace my head liner. Any reasonable cost alternative for a headliner? Material? Soundproofing? Cement or or other mounting options?

Airtex is your source for the headliner, they have been making interiors for the 120/140 since the 1940's. They can supply you with the glue as well. Be aware though, that this is not an easy undertaking, the skylights are a real challenge to get right. I would recommend buying Lorraine Morris's DVD.
I might get a ribbing over this but I bought some door seal on Amazon for $5 thinking there was no way it could be any good, but actually I was surprised. Probably not going to last, but it has sealed the door nicely so far.

I used the same seal in white, pulled it in half though and it works well for my windows also. This is at least enough to do two aircraft

Bill Rhodes up in Minnesota used to have the "real McCoy" door seal if you want to go that route, you could contact him, he probably still has more.
