ubject: headliner writeup...brief


Go to Home Depot. Find a can of 3M adhesive spray...the BIG TALL can with the BLACK CAP. $15.

Go to wal-mart. Find and pick out any BED SHEETS you want...don't use felt..it will shed on you later on.

Now, remove your headliner...most parts come out along the top with a phillips screw driver and all plastic covers pop off with a flathead screwdriver...the tricky one is the "oh shit" handle...Just use a flathead and pop open or slide back the cover over both sides and unscrew the phillips screws underneath. Same for the coat hanger hook in the back.

Now with the headliner out...Cut you a pattern from your fabric 1-2 inches larger than the headliner. Spray the ENTIRE can of that nasty green snot looking adheasive all over the headliner (yours, not the fabric). Now, wait 2-5 min to let the glue set in some and make it sticky. Now lay your material over it flat. Start from the center of all curves and "iron" your way outwards towards the edges...like smoothing over a cloth or ironining a shirt. If you have a sunroof...cut a hole 1-2 inches smaller than the hole and overlap all edges. Like a christmas present...cut little angles and chops outta the edges to make everything lay over smoothly. Do NOT PRESS DOWN HARD WITH YOUR HANDS as the glue will soak through and you will have ugleee wet spots...this is why you let the glue set in first a little bit.

When finished...let it dry flat for 6 hours or so. Heck wait a day if you can and then when ready reinstall it back inside your roof cavity.

That's the basics to it...I should make a write up or have pics...I will be redoing mine soon...I found a sweeeet jagged black and white and red accents rip pattern bed sheet at kmart the other day... so I will really be matching now. I will take detailed pics when I do this soon. (within a few weeks)

Hope this helps you for now.
