When you get the headliner board out (remove the trim, dome lights, sun visors, etc, then the board), this is how you prepare the headliner board and replace…

Thumbs down…. Why would you not show the most important part of replacing
the headliner?
This is a bitch to do and not leave wrinkles…
I have a couple of questions. I’ve never done this before but I’ve watched
all of the videos. She is the only one who cut the holes out before gluing
the fabric – I would think it would be better to do this after gluing and
positioning the fabric in its final form. Also she uses the 3M glue that
doesn’t cast a wide spray – on another video the man who used this learned
to brush the glue out after spraying because he originally ended up with an
uneven distribution of glue that left some moisture spots in the final
headliner.
You skipped the only part I wanted to see – laying the material down.
Choose your fabric wisely, I got a BMW 740il, and the sunroof sprung a
leak. I decided it was time to upgrade the look, I went with black suede.
big mistake, the suede doesn’t stretch like I thought it would on the
contour parts, and while it came out nice, it didn’t come out perfect.
great video… you guys know what you r doing…. got a question.. ive got
a 79 mailbu wagon that needs a headliner board. the old one come out in
chunks… I need the material or a replacement .. have any ideas ?
Gee, I was hoping to see you lay it in the glue. I ruined two headliners
on my ford ranger because it would catch on the edges and then the material
wouldn’t lay into the curve. That was particularly difficult in the back
corners.
How to you get it to conform smoothly to the speaker mounts in the rear? I
have that same board
haha first lesson for the baby!
Good Job
Is that a Jeep Cherokee Headliner?
There are no fumes with that glue – NONE. If you had used it you’d know
that. Further, the woman who is spearheading the job worked with that glue
for more than 20 years and that’s her grandchild. If there had been any
danger to the child, she wouldn’t have brought the child along when she
came to do the job.
One can of glue – and headliner material works best – but you can try
anything you want to if it’s your car.
to take the dome light out do you have to drop the liner down?
You have to brush the old foam off with a wire brush and make it completely
clean. If you don’t clean it right, the fabric won’t stick.
I’m attempting this tonight / tomorrow. Wish me luck lol. It wasn’t any
kind of work to get my fabric off the board, i just simply took the board
out of my car and the fabric fell right off. 🙂 Guess the old lady who
owned it before me really did chain smoke all the time in that car. Only
damage from it was my headliner. No smell.
Superb video, thank you very much!! I will be doing this tomorrow. =)
@FloridaRaider most fabric stores have it
Hancock Fabrics has it…
This has been tremendously helpful. I will be doing my wife’s nissan soon.
I noticed that you talked about how to work the surfaces with your hands as
not to leave marks, but then edited the video not showing the actual
application of the headliners to the backer board. I missed weather you
stretched the material out or started in the middle and worked toward
either end. Possibly a video on the actual material/backer board
application. Great video, thank you – David
What kind of glue is that?…
Bravo, bu kadını sevdim işinin ehliymiş.
@McCuistian where did you buy your headliner cloth/fabric at? Thanks
@burkdogg21 Not on any vehicle I’ve ever worked on!!!!
how many cans of glue should i use? will canvas material work?
my headliner is in bad shape in some areas. i was thinking of filling those
spots in with spray foam insulation instead of just covering them with tape
like i saw in another video. what do you use for board repairs?
Not sure I know what you mean by the “backing.”
Thanks for the tip! This Jeep headliner is the first one I had seen done –
the little lady doing the talking was our upholstery instructor for 20
years. She was the expert in this case.
make sure you clean that board really really well if you want the new
headliner to work right… And rather than making a small cut where your
holes are, match the holes exactly with an exacto knife – it’ll be easier
to reinstall that way. I learned that on mine big time!!!!
3M 8088 – you can buy it at Advance Auto Parts.
The tedious part is taking the headliner board out and putting it back. And
I’d cut the holes to match the ones in the board rather than making small X
cuts – it works better that way. Careful with your plastic trim and lights!
We don’t have an upholstery department any more – the lady in the video
retired. Sorry.
