I replace the sagging worn-out dirty headliner in the Jeep Cherokee for under $40 in about 2 hours.
Here is what you will need:
3 Yards of fleece from a fabric store (More if you vehicle’s headliner is large, less if it is small. 3 was good for my Jeep Cherokee)
1-2 cans of 3M Supper 77 Spray Adhesive
For most headliners, the only tools you will need are a few screw drivers and maybe some star drivers. You will also need a good pair of scissors that you don’t mind getting sticky

sorry been do it for 20 yr that spray can glue sucks doesn't last
Well if your stereo isn't loud,at liest the headliner is. Lol. Almost making it a 1960's love mobile. Ha Ha. Never had a fiberglass liner. All the ones I have done has been a molded foam type, or on old cars were molded Masonite. Cool job tho.
Sick! I’m doing mine.
Looks awesome bro!!! And loud is awesome too!!!
Hi great vid! I have been wondering how to fix this issue. Now I know
Fuggin Awsome !!! Great work
I do Auto Trim, For reference, lay your material overtop of your headliner board. Fold the material over 50/50, spray glue on the Material and board, then rub smooth. Then repeat for the other side. It works well! Great video!
Thanks man! I replaced a headliner in an older Chevy truck years ago. Was pretty simple. I'm doing my 88 suburban soon and just watched your vid. Great idea on using fleece! I didn't want to spend the money on headliner material. Now I need to decide on colors/patterns. I'm excited!
I liked what you did with the Jeep headliner because I'm looking for one now but I need one for a 2 door Jeep.. I have a few junk yards to check out but 2 door Jeep's are hard to come by.. I will check out your your YouTube video when I get my headliner and thanks again..
nice job man, inspirational fer sure
The screws and washers are original. I just bought a 2000 from a dealer and they must've used an entire cartridge of staples over the driver's seat to fix it.
Hey there, thanks for the ideas, I am redoing a 83 Mercedes I figured I would have to use headliner material but a fleece type material sounds great. I had done a headliner on my father in law cougar and used the same material for billiard tables. It was on sale, it was cheap and looked great. My Mercedes is going to get amassed up now with your suggestions. Thanks.
Awwe thats what i wanted to, see..
what year and model of jeep was that headliner out of?
So I found some fake gator leather, it is not too stiff, actually doesn't feel too different as to the regular leather imitation, do you think it'll work out?
Mr. Headliner specailist. How do you make the…thing…?? cardboard that the fabric is glued too?
I used to do headliners at an upholstery shop I worked at. Glued a scotch bright pad to a DA to remove all the old crumbling padding material. Worked really well when you get spots that don't like to come off, and it all needs to come off or it shows in the finished product. Another trick, if your headliner panel is cracked and broken like many I've seen, glue patches of canvas on the backside to hold it all together.
Great video bud ,..but that choice of pattern , doesn't go with those rims….
Good work. I'm thinking of trying this with a few of my cars.
Dang! I like your headliner!
I am going to do my 1997 f150
That's awesome,I had planned to redo my headliner but as a female unscrewing all that stuff makes Me nervous as air prob wont remember where it all goes back at lol..I could do the job with a better memory and possiably some knowledge on how things go back together but finding my actual car is going to prob be impossible it's pretty old 1998-1999 Chevy Malibu..luckly has no speakers on top only a light and visors..But has shirt hangers ec. So not too sure I'd get as nice of a finish..But this does answer my question on what materials I can use..I'm a seamstress and have soooooo much fabric already I could certainly use what's on hand and know my materials well..So basically any knit,fleece or other stretch materials would do,knit is very thin and dont think it will hold up in the long run..Fleece I dont carry anything over 2yrds and that's childrens prints lol..But like you said fleece goes on sale often,I'd go with a solid grey to match the colors in my car now..I also need to do the back window area,where my speakers are,its just dusting off this nasty yellowish crusty stuff,I guess whatever was under your liner,comes off just blowing on it..was thinking if using a vinyl?Will that hold up better with cold and hot temps tho?Or use fleece there too..I know fleece does fade with sun exposer so I worry about that,the roof wont really get direct sun like that area..any advice on doing that part of my car would be great Thanks
Great video on that process! Who typically carries the 3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive?
I did not know the actual headliner came out. lol. I just thought it was one of those really hard jobs to do. But you make it look fairly easy. And by the way, I'm impressed that you got that print on there really straight! That had to be difficult. Thanks for the video!
I love this!
Tell you what.. looks good
