HOW TO replace headlining - Very detailed

doing mine tomorrow! finally i won't want to kill myself everytime I get in the car! lol

got foam from clark rubber, not sure what material Ill use yet,
everything at spotlight is hideous, clark rubber had this nice leatherish black/grey stuff for $20 a metre, might go with that.

gonna use selleys contact adhesive.

 

I did mine yesterday took like 10 hours lol, when I stapled the **** out of it and put the fabric on it made dents in the fabic from where the staples went into the foam lol but it still looks good, luckily I stapled the **** out of it in a pattern.. thanx great how do.

 

how much fabric do u need? i found so awesome suede its gonna be the goods im thinkin i might do my dash in it 2

 

why do you need to use the foam, why cant you glue straight to the lining, from what ive seen the foam then material doesnt turn out any where as good as a trimmers job, i got quoted 280 to do the job and i pulled it out and got another quote and they said 180 LOL
is the best result just to glue it straight to the lining or get heavier material or something with backing on it and use that
good thread too very informative

 

ok check this out i folled the steps provided on here and looks mint. for a 17year old and first shot looks good thanks 4 the help

 

heyyy how did u do the door trims? can u say step by step thanks

 

hey i one my roof lining in black looks excellent thanks for the step by step wanna do my door trims you know that ugly colour material on vr door trims i wanna do them in black but not sure how too

 

I did mine 2 weeks ago in white vinyl, used Selleys Quick Grip contact adhesive glue, looks mint!

 

Awesome write up, did mine a little while ago. Pimp Fur FTW

 

haha that looks sick

 

Doing my roof lining later on this afternoon, in Dark Charcoal Suede and doing door cards in the suede while i'm at it, but one question. Once I've done the roof lining and door cards can the suede be sprayed with some kind of scotch guard to protect it? I'm almost positive it can if it's not soaked in the stuff. Just wanted to double check before I do it.

 

I had my roof lining changed recently and instead of getting my old one re-trimmed and put back in,I got a caprice roof lining re-trimmed,modified to fit and put in. Most of the stuff works,just need to get the speakers and rear radio controls hooked up,which wont be a major issue anyway

 

Awesome write up, would of helped alot of people, also you can use your old fabric and just reglue it, works the same.

 

thanks mnie need replacing as well might have to put the wife out of the kitchen for a hand thanks for the heads up for what im in for
