Me and my buddy re-wrapped my headliner the other day. what do you think?


Little help from the Mrs. too






Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.

 

Nice job.

 

thanks. it matches my seats now

 

Didn't look quite right by itself but after the seat pic it matches much better!

 

i was gonna see about gettin black visors but the grey and black works well with the rest of the interior

 

Could you wrap them in the same material?

 

i cant sew so i was gonna use spray fabric dye, but it looks good cuz the dash and door panels are grey

 

find a set of grey explorer ones. then have me wrap them in the suede, leaving all the plastic grey. then with a grey ohc, that would look sharp....

 

You don't think that would be too much black?

 

Looks good! Nice work!

 

Looks like you guys did a great job.

 

sweet!!

 

Thanks guys. It was well worth the effort

 

That looks great! What did you use, spray adhesive? I have wanted to do this just to change the color but mine still looks good with no sags. I like the suggestion of using grey sunvisors, that would look good too. If you do change the color of your visors, could you post it and let us know what products you used?

 

For thinner fabric, super 77 spray adhesive works best. If you go higher then the glue will soak through the fabric. I think I'm gonna keep the visors grey.

 

looks great, perfect compliment to the seats which are also very nice.

OH SNAP

 

Thanks guys

 

Did you follow Korey's how to? I didn't think you needed to take the old covering off.

 

that looks great man... But i've always wondered how do you get the headliner out with out cracking it

 

I didn't even know there was a how to. I've done a handful of them and I have removed the old material every time. Taking it out took a lot of patience. It took two people to get it out. We had to rotation it and angle it and it still had to bend a little. It went in easier than it came out.

 

it all depends on the condition of the old material. if it's old and starting to fall, then it should be cleaned off. the foam starts to rot causing the material to drop. if it's a newer car (5 years or newer) you can probably get away with just pulling the cloth off, but leaving the foam.

sometimes you can't! i've done some where you have to basically fold it in half to get it out. there are a couple fords (and i'm sure other makes) that you have no choice but to pull a window. ford flex's, windshield has to come out. early 00s ford 150 crew cabs, back window has to come out. newer f150 crew cabs with the big console, both front seats, and the complete center console has to be removed to get the board out.

ext cab rangers (rangers in general) are one of the easiest truck headliners i have ever pulled. the last ext cab (2 door) it took maybe 10 minutes from pulling the first visor til the board was out the door. normally, just one guy works on a headliner.
