Reply to "Headliner"

When I did mine, I used medium density 1/4 inch foam from an upholstery shop along with a professional spray glue (not 3M).

I used a thin plastic scraper to remove all of the old foam from the old liner and I re-glued the new foam to it. When that had set, I re-glued the entire “new” headliner to the roof. One thing I did that worked out well was to pre-cut the foam to fit ONLY the visible areas. The parts that went under the metal trim were left as just vinyl only. It made placing the panel much easier.

Another tip to placing the “new” headliner is to cut a heavy cardboard panel the same size to support it while you are positioning it. Since you’re working with contact adhesives, you don’t want to get it wrong. It is a two-person job.

One last tip, is to make sure that you don’t compress the foam and vinyl too heavily or it will stay compressed and you’ll end up with a very lumpy look. All-told it was a three hour job including removing all the old foam dust and glue residue from the roof (again with a plastic scraper so as not to do damage).

Good luck!
