so..... im looking to cover my headliner and back cover behind the back seats in black suede so today i started taking it all out.

i looked on here for help with the sunroof slider after the guy at the upholstery place told me that it was a bitch and was gonna make it cost a lot more for them to do it. so i searched and couldnt find a good answer of how to remove the slider. so i tried it myself and actually its simple to take the sunroof out and take the bar off that stops the slider form coming out the back all in all it took me about 5 min.

i will make a how to with pics as soon as its all covered and back in, im getting rid of the rear headrests too since nobody sits back there and i think it looks way better. excited as **** though

now the only thing left to do is find black weather stripping to go around the sunroof...... any sugestions?

 

no one makes a black weatherstrip that goes around there. i recovered mine with material that matched the headliner. i thoughti pm'd you about that.

 

Paint it

 

A Friend of mine said it was J Channel, but IDK where to get it.

 

it basically just a weatherstrip

 

Yeah, post pics. I'm working on this myself, and haven't found a good way to get the sunroof shade out without taking out the whole assembly. Thanks in advance!

 

you have to take the assembly out then two bolts and the slider comes right out. i was worried about taking it out and getting a good seal when i put it back in but it rained today and its all good.

 

you dont have to take the whole assembly out....you need to loosen the back portion and it will come out. its tougher to do that way but IT CAN BE DONE

 

if you have a small enough torx you can get in there possibly but its better to just take it all the way down and pull it right out.

 

so ive been looking and cant find a black weatherstripping to go around the sunroof so im gonna have to dye it. any suggestions?

ive been looking into krylon fusion paint im just worried its gonna chip and look like ****

 

why not have it covered? suede is thin enough...i did mine without removeing it...not hard at all. remove all the bolts but the front ones it drops down far enough....when its a one man job i recommend it to avoid and mishabs.

 

heres mine

 

i got the weatherstrip out of the car your telling me to just cover it with the suede? seems hard since it bends around the 4 corners of the sunroof opening. i see yours and it looks nice

 

suedes a lot thinner then what i used too. its glued onto the weatherstrip...thats the oem one too

 

what material is that??

 

I think the g6 had a black headliner or u can order a camaro one and just section it to fit but don't use paint because it's not plastic and will never fully dry I made that mistake on my old car

 

tweed straight from recaro to match my aftermarket recaros....you talk to john powell here and there...hes seen it in person numerous times ask him. its nice. ps the visors and everything is all done now

 

thats why you use fabric paint....ive done plenty of parts with it...drys every time. camaro stuff wont fit properly as its not formed to the roof.

 

In for pics an a howto

 

how to remove or how to recover

 

i used vinyl paint

 

the only thing i have agsint vinyl paint is the way it feels afterwards...not that i touch my headliner all the time or anything but i like fabric to feel like fabric

 

it doesnt feel to rough honestly and your right, why are you touching the roof at all?

 

when i clean it.

 

huh.. i never really have to clean my roof... but I guess I can figure out how to take it off an put it back on with out ripen stuff 2 bad but as far as vinyl paint tho, you jus spray it on?
