Headliner

My headliner is ripped and falling down pretty bad so im going to do a new one. I was thinking about doing a rebel flag headliner and was wondering what you guys think about that? I would use a real flag and stick it up there with Sprey adheasive. Do you think this would hold up ok? If not what else could i do it with?

Here is a pic of a rebel flag liner i found on internet

That would probably work for a while anyway. You could get headliner material, (fleece), and install it the same way. The thing is ,is that headliner material has a foam backing attached to it, and the flag won't, and I think the foam is petty important in getting a smooth installation. For the best look, you should probably use headliner material, by itself, or under the flag.

Gravity is a much stronger force than the rebel cause.

The problem I see is that the spray adhesive will soak thru the flag and it will look like crap,I tried this with a old door panel on a toyota I had and I was using a 3m product.I need to repair my headliner in my 86 also and right now have big stainless tacks holding it up,Where can you get material with a foam backing?

You could paint the cross bars on new headliner material.

I'd try local fabric stores, that's what I'm thinking of doing if/when I go to install a new headliner in my truck. Might also be able to buy that stuff from a place that does car interior restorations or maybe National Parts Depot or LMC Truck or some such but the cost is likely gonna be lots higher.

I almost hate to say this as I need to buy some for my wife's car and I don't need the competition on bidding, but it will probably be a while before I buy it anyway, so- knlsales on E-bay Motors. You can get enough for the job for around $20.
