Ok so here's the deal I was going to do the DIY for the headliner but it didn't turn out quite the way I wanted to and I don't think it'll last so I'm going a different route (fiberglass and paint). I'm not going to give false information So my question is should I post tips on how to/not to do this or is there no one who wants to do this? And if you do what do you want to know?

I can help you out with the DIY also if you want. I have wrapped many headliners between my cars and when I was working at custom stereo shops

I did try that but I never put it in the car. I knew it wouldn't work as soon as I sprayed it on there. I tryed a few other adhesives but nothing was working. I gave up and thought It would look better painted

 

[mind4engineering]

thought so

i WOULD like to know how to remove the headliner, i may just have a HUGE project to do this summer....

 

[dduffy2005]

I'll be posting a DIY hopefully later today

 

[Samanthia]

get on it! JK

mind4, im pretty sure that once you remove all the panels around the edges, and the light fixture, you could prob just give it a tug if it doesnt fall off, at least thats how it was with my dynasty, the roof liner was coming apart, so i ripped it out.

Yea, I just used black fabric paint on this headliner and it came out great. On my other two cars tho, we used vinyl. You have to use a special contact cement to get it to stick well tho.

What did you use?

 

[PLUR13]

It was a headliner adhesive that we ordered from a place called Select Products (I worked at a custom stereo shop). It was a two part adhesive that has to be mixed up in a paint gun to be sprayed. You spray both the headliner and the vinyl, let it sit for a minute, then stick it together. ANother thing you need to do to make it stick is to pull off the factory installed fabric, then use sandpaper or something like that, to get all the foam off from under the original fabric. That way you have just the hard part of the headliner and the glue can't sink into anything

I did that with ours (minus the sanding) and it is REALLY flimsy it's like there's nothing there
