New Head Liner

[soulweaver]

I'm replacing my head liner and I was wondering what should I use for adheasive and what type of material should I use or does it matter.

Its actually a pretty easy project. I did it on my 2g almost a year ago and also in my tahoe, the one in the tahoe was a true pita, twice the headliner twice to deal with and its much heavier Anyways, you can pick up the fabric a number of ways, you can either: go to ebay and pick up material there, or the easiest way and the way i used was go down to your local Joann`s fabric and ask for headliner fabric. They have a little rack with the colors to choose from. I lucked out because they had my color in stock ready to cut to your specs. Then go to your local auto parts store and pick up some headliner adhesive and just find a write up on the internet or here in tuners and you`ll be golden. TAKE YOUR TIME THOUGH! If its your first time doing it, just take your time and do a little at a time. Once the fabric is on there, its REALLY hard to get off. But when your done and you got everything installed (given you did it write) it well worth the time and money you put in it. I actually screwed up the one in my tahoe a littler bit because i havent done one that big before. The one in my tahoe was like doing 3 eclipse headliners all in a row! it was horrible Good luck to you man!

Yea exactly what he said. I personally may just swap to suede I haven't decided yet. But keep us updated on how it went when your done.

My headliner needed to be fixed. The material was still in decent shape, so I just reattached it using Permatex heavy duty headliner and carpet adhesive. You can get it at almost any autoparts store. This was my first time doing this and I just followed the directions on the can; I am pleased with the results.

Thanks for all the info. I will be fixing the headliner after I clean out the garage this week. Is there any thing else I need to know if I decide to put suede up.

Good. Take at look at the FAQ.

I actually think someone did a write-up a few years ago on doing the headliner.... {ahem}
