My sister and i are going to redo the head liner in her 84 montie carlo ss. i know what fabric to use but how do i prep the old headliner and what glue/ spray adhesive should i use. pretty much tell me anything you think would be helpful.


thanks

Cam

 

take apart interior trim pieces, then take out the headliner,, dont really need to prep it if you go with good spray, get the PERMENANT spray adhesive, not he temporary stuff. then overlay the headline, fold back and start ant one end. spray about 3 inches then press down the fabric smoothing from the inside out. working out all creases. 3M makes a good spray.. its called fabric adhesive,, its srays out sorrta like spidermans web! then cut the edges about 2 inches long and tuck em up... shouldnt take over an hour

 

yeah so 3m is the product to get

 

yup. take your time always comes out better that way.

 

does anyone have a link to the spray or know a place to buy it. i found some stuff on advance autos web site that it specifically for headliners

 

3M? Hi-Tack Spray Adhesive 76, 24 oz, 12 cans per case

i get mine at napa

 

This is supposed to be some good stuff:

Sprayway Fast Tack 92 Headliner Glue Spray Adhesive - eBay (item 110437787175 end time Nov-21-09 1108 PST)

 

alright man thanks anyone else have any advice

 

yeah but i need to be able to pick it up in store cant wait for shipping

 

post pictures of your sister after you are done

 

3m stuff is great i would use that.

 

ok we will have to see what we can find

 

3M is good too, and should be available locally.

 

thats what im thinking im just not sure where to get it. maybe the place we are getting the headliner material will have what we need

 

Any hobby or auto body store should have something that would work.

how about that stuff?

 

I've never used it, but Permatex products are usually good. I would just go with that.

 

just make sure you post pics of it when you finish

 

that will work

 

DO NOT WANT

 

alright guys thanks i will post some pics when we are done

 

so you get er done yet?? haha

 

haha my sister doesnt even get down from ny till late friday night so saturday night it should be done

 

3M Super 77 should work too, if you can't find the others.

 

the best stuff to use is 3M Adhesive, it works great!!! its like $11 a can or so, but it does work and you get what you pay for.
