Hi, I was wondering on how to fix your headliner? Some days mine is down to my head and on others it's up like normal. How would I fix it? Thanks

I took mine out. Ripped all the cloth off of it, then set it out in the grass and used an angle grinder with wire wheel to remove the foam/adhesive. If you do this, all it takes is a kiss from the wire wheel, don't let it dig in because the backing is just cheap cardboard.

I still have to reinstall it. Think I'm going to find a black vinyl tablecloth of suitable quality and use that for a headliner. It'll look good and if anything gets splashed up there (mud) it'll wipe right off.

 

I just did the headliner in my bronco

I very carefully pealed off the old fabric and left behind the foam.

then, went to Joanne fabrics and got 1.3 yards of new material and a Large spray can of spray adhesive(for foam and cloth). Had the new fabric on and trimmed in 20 Min and for less than $20

 

Did you take pictures?

 

here are some pics of mine.
old headliner pealed off and foam removed, i wasnt lucky enough for the foam to come off with the fabric, so i removed the remaining foam with flap wheel(outside, will make a mess) on a drill

the layed my new fabric out and used the adhesive


then trimmed it up and installed, really basic stuff

 

Matt. Did you use fabric with the foam on it, or did you just glue the new fabric to the cardboard?

My headliner

 

fabric with foam. just went to my local upholstry shop. they have alot of boat vinyls and auto stuff. just gave em my interior sample from old headliner and tole em i was redoing my headliner. they got me the material and also gave me adhesive. i paid right around mid 20s to do mine also, really simple stuff.
here i took a couple pics of the fabric i used, still had a few scraps around

 

How much would a used one cost at a junk yard?

 

IF you can find a good used one, $10 - $100

 

Guys - I need ideas on what to do if the head liner was never there from the factory. I'm toying with either sticking cheap carpet straight to the metal or (for better insulation) fabricating something with a very thin sheet of plywood (not sure how).

What do you think? The junk yard option isn't practical up here in Nova Scotia.

 

I replaced mine with a flag

 

No junk yards? How about someone parting a truck on craigslist? It dont have to be the right color.

As for doing the plywood thing, NO. Same goes for gluing the fabric to the metal

SouthernBlues that looks worse than the most sagging headliner I have ever seen

 

Honestly I got a mint replacement from the wreckers for 15 bucks
