dont even think about doing this unless you use specfic HEADLINER SPRAY ADHESIVE. if you dont it will fall the second it gets over 85 degrees

 

mine aint fell yet and its been over 85degrees the past couple days on this side of fl

 

if i may add something..... if you use 3m super 76 or contact cement, it will not pull off. the reason the material will pull down off the headliner over time is becasue of heat. Heat breaks down the spray glue. The super 76 is a lot more money, but will not break down with the normal heat from the headliner.


overall i think it looks great! what material did you use?

 

just an offbrand fabric from walmart... it looks great in person and that adhesive glue

 

i did this about 9 months ago, but with black ****

 

anyone ever attempted this with leather? im thinking it would look nice Back leather and the SS maybe?

 

ok check this out.. i just got my black suade in right and i was just about to do it when i realized... wait. if i don't put the visors or little clips but up how will it stay? so i think im just going to put the bases of eerything back up and not the actuall visor. secound i realized that you have to pull the two layers of the factory stuff back first or else the material will not stick. secound i don't want mine to look like crap so im proboly going to have it brought some wehere and have them do it.
peace. ill post pics ina couple of days.

 

please tell me your leaving the lamp... IMO it will look bad without it (because of the hump)

 

mesed up my headliner 300 bucks to repalce it.

 

so your saying don't do this unless your are experinced?... lol sorry to hear that you messed it up... what did youdo?

 

wow man? how did you mess it up? this is a level one thing to do...all it requires is some spray glue and knowing how to lay down material.. thats it...where did you go wrong?

 

ok so the glue really doesn't stick to the stock TAN fabrix so you have to take that off and the glue over time will fall off the grey padding so you have to take it down the the bare fiber glass... there is where it loses it shape. if any one knows what kinda adheasvie t use on the stock headline which will make the fabric stick then please let me know i used "3M headliner glue it stuck but not that great.

 

i was thinking of possibly using like a fabric dye to just make the headliner black...seems safer to me than possibly screwing up the whole thing. anyone have any reasons it wont work?

much needed how too though

 

dyeing it would be a great choice... a smaller chance of screwing it up... i dunno how much it would take... but i know any arts and craft store would have it, walmart too... and i guess for how much it takes depends on the size of the bottle... lol

 

too bad your car will smell like ass for a couple months afterwards.

 

only a couple days....same went when i painted the door plastics....just gotta leave the windows down at night and leave em cracked anywhere you feel it safe to do so

 

or just drive without the panels in

 

I left mine in with the windows up, but when I got in the windows went down, and that was the last of the paint smell.
