I just bought one of theirs. Did you use the old clips or put in screws? I have nothing there.

Hy Gangstakr, Reading about headliners and saw you mentioned you made it like your hood. That sounds pretty cool, you have a photo of that?

I bought one of their headliners and it is top notch.
WARNING!
I tried one of those, with the vinyl attached.
The glue they use is junk, it all started coming loose in a matter of days.
The basking/ABS is too stiff it was a pain.
Called them and they gave me my money back.

Not the stock look but I went with Rod Doors.

Mine is made from FRP and I'm doing vinyl. This is the only adhesive to use. Anything else is a crap shoot.


It is heat resistant and will not let go. I grabbed some of the 3m super 90 initially because it was close and it held for about 3 months. I used almost 4 cans on the headliner($48) a couple times trying to fix it, but it just doesn't hold up to the Oklahoma heat so I am back to what I know works. I get it locally for $42/gallon. It can be sprayed or brushed.

This was after using the 3M that failed. The redone headliner will be done by this weekend and will look a little different.

Thanks for this tip. I'll be getting a can.
I've had the same results: The ABS headliner from ACME and supplied by multiple vendors is a nightmare to install, and the vinyl has delaminated after a couple of months. I also requested a refund.
I'll be getting the Roddoors and covering it with vinyl - with the hope that this DAP will hold it there.

No problem. You won't regret it. A good brushed on coat on each piece that is dry to the touch will not let go once pressed together. You can reposition it if it hasn't been pressed together, but after pressing it's bonded.

Thanks for sharing ideas, tbm3fan and others.
Anyone got a pic of the front clips installed on the big center piece. I have the clips, but want to understand distribution and orientation of those front clips. I have built panels traced from my original, but with frp, covered w/ vinyl.
Mine is a 66 f-100.

I was talking about Gangstakr's headliner. That is really cool and I bet it really quiets the cab noise!
