As many of you already know my OHC install didn't go as planned and i cut the hole WAY to big. I got a new headliner but it was for a 4 door lol. So i pulled my screwed up one PITA to get out and decided to fill the hole with card board and recover it. I have never done anything like this. I used some 3M adhesive and some basic EcoFelt made from recycled bottles $4.99 a yard. I went right over the stock material. This job was super easy, besides taking it out of the truck. here are some pictures of the process

 

wow they are different?? oh well, looks good!

 

Yup huge difference. Mine is the lighter one notice how its straight and no curves

 

Not bad! I would've squared up the sides of the hole, though, since it can still be seen through the fabric. Are you going to get another headliner and do the overhead console thing still?

 

Same here.

 

nope truck is going soon

 

No more hole.
if you get there again, measure twice or three times cut once.

Good job, look almost factory.

 

Nice job.

 

Looks better but I agree with the previous comments on the hole.

 

Nice, shoulda made it dark as heck though lol

 

How’s this coming along ?

Is that back section going to make any difference ?

What year did the darker one come out of ?

To me the darker one will look better but I like the dark interior.

 

The darker one is much different as the curves are for the 4th doors. The headliner i did is already in the truck

i didn't feel like bending it t get it in again so i pulled the rear glass

broke this pin but it's replaced now. how it fits...Its a much tighter fit with all the trim installed

 

What’s next, try again ?

 

I like it!...Never would have guessed the headliners would be different.
so what do you mean by the truck is going away soon? You gonna sell it?

 

that was then not now. i was wanting a new car because it was put in my head that a family member would get me a new car. do i want a payment? hell no! do i want a cheap daily driver and my truck? hell yes. So im looking for a daily driver atm

 

Ah...I see either way I still think you have one kick *** truck!
what kind of daily driver are ya looking for? (or at least have in mind)

 

Oh my God, you did a beautiful job! I like your approach, rather than buying a brand new headliner from Ford or auto parts, take it out, peel off the fabric spray some adhesive and lay down some new fabric across the whole thing. It’s beautiful. Way better than spending $909 on a new headliner.
Thanks very much for the tip!
(By the way, where do you get ecofelt!?”
