Looks good and clean! Always feels good to make a nice repair rather than buy.

Haha not trying to show off. Just keeping the thread updated, since a while back someone said let them know how it goes. So here it

And yes I did enjoy getting to make it myself instead of buying it, it really wasn’t too hard after a little practice. I bet I could make a headliner and kick panels to match as well, unfortunately I don’t think I could do the seat myself lol

Sure you could. A little thought and planning and it's all possible. Give it a go and let us know. My truck is homemade and they used wood trailer paneling for backing.

Best pic I have right now of headliner

You did a great job. I especially like the piping you used around the edge. What exactly is that?

1 3/4 in vinyl cut to length needed then folded 1/4 in over and glued it with vinyl adhesive. Then when folded around the visor it would be around 1/2 in exposed to appear as a binding.
however I wanted a clean look and also didn’t have a machine that could sew vinyl, so I once again used a strong adhesive and formed it around. Then let it sit in the sun to cure and wala

It would appear that will do fine, but time will tell.

If it comes off I’ll have someone in upholstery stitch on the binding
