headliner replacement
I replaced my headliner material with the stuff from Joanne fabrics too, and it looks perfect!
You dont need to be an upholsterer to do the repair either,
The hardest part for me was cleaning the old crap off of the
headliner shell, the foam material underneath turns into a sticky
little ball of glue when you try to scrape it off.
Once its clean, use 3M spray adhesive on the shell and on the
back side of the new material, then carefully lay the new stuff on.
You'll need annother pair of hands to do this, start in the center
and work your way out, being careful to lay it down flat with no
ripples. CAREFUL: You only get one chance to do it right cause
the new stuff bonds IMMEDIATELY when you lay it down.
Trim it and reinstall in the car, looks like brand new
BTW: The shell is sort of fragile so try not to flex it too much
or it may crack, and you might need to get some new plastic trim
clips if they break when removing the trim.
I was quoted $250.00 to have this done at a trim shop and
wanted to try it myself, the materials needed were cheap and
available.
