For More Info visit us at: 1aau.to/h/cE2/
If you have a saggy, loose, or falling headliner in your car or truck, chances are its from the foam layer deteriorating. This usually means just gluing it back in place either won't work, or will be awfully ugly! In this video, Andy shows you how to remove your existing headliner fabric and gross foam, and how easy it is to install a new foam backed headliner!

Very time consuming job, but glad for the demonstration. I'm going to be needing this soon. Now that I see how it's done, I have a bit more respect for those who do this professionally.

As a 47 year trimmer I like how you guys pick the easy ones for these vids. You and the other guy both picked hard styrofoam headliners to recover. I have yet to see a DIYer pick a later GM with the soft fiberboard headliner. Those are far trickier to clean and keep smooth. You.cannot use a wire brush to remove the old foam, you have to use a mild scrubber or even just a rag on your hand. Also it's important to use a good glue, contact adheaive is best, or heat will make your new liner drop.

[@Oh6Torch]

Did one on a 1991 Mustang 17 years ago. I used 3M headliner glue. Still on there. I used a straight blade to scrape the foam and later a scotch rite pad to remove the remaining foam. That hard plastic brush looks like way to go. Doing a 2000 f150 tomorrow. Glad I ran into your video. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@joannek5429]

You simplified it, and I'm way more confident moving forward. Thanks😜🤘

Great. I have a Mk 4 vauxhall (Opel) Astra that is 20 years old. It's a great car and one of the few this old that you still commonly see on the road here in the UK. There is a bunch that needs doing to keep it in good condition, but I think this little job is within my ability range after your helpful video. Some funny gaffes with your cameraman made it enjoyable to watch. Thanks for the instruction!

I like the way you took out the whole headliner and worked with it and taking off the old headliner foam, a little patience and an it can be done.

[@affordabledesertliving3487]

Very helpful. I havent seen anyone use the small clamps before. Also if I have this correct you only glued about 4" at a time as you proceeded to cover the new material to the headboard.

[@RPGHouseFabricator]

So glad I found this video. Your wire brush technique was just what I needed to see. Gonna reinforce my decomposing 30 year old headliner with starch paper and fiberglass before putting new fabric on. Thank you for your help!

[@patrickwarden2933]

I really wish you showed more detail around the cut out areas especially overhead console area where the difference in height pulls and causes creases . I started mine and I walked the material to the side and had to pull it up and start over. I bought 24 little clamps and 10 large clamps using 4 large clamps to hold material straight preventing it walking off to on side.

You can remove a headliner in the parking lot and then bring it inside to the arts and crafts portion.

Hey 1A Auto - you're videos have taught me so much. In 2020 I got bored and bought a beater pick-up. I figured it was a good skill to pick up, mechanics. With all your videos, parts, etc., I've learned a lot in 4 years - so thank you. Thank you for your videos. I'm proud to say that 30+ year old beater is the most reliable car I've ever had after working on it.

[@marianoonan7257]

you did a great job there , very professional , its tricky with the spray glue as it can stray onto the surface your going to see , but anyway it was well done and great video thank you very much

I have to do my 2008 Mazda 6 which I plan on doing possibly next weekend or two weeks after next weekend when I have time off from work. Honestly its not something I am looking forward to but it has to be done so I just have to order the material and glue. I know how to remove it and what door to take it out from but having to wait 24 hrs before you put it back in is something I was not aware of so its just another thing to add to my procrastination. Even when I shave my head that head liner says my razor sucks because it still sticks to my head. Yea I am tall but its just a curse that the headliner amplifies.

[@FilmREALMS]

Thanks for sharing what type of spray to use 😵‍💫

[@darnelljoseph9863]

Nice I learned something ❤

[@warwickmilne3149]

A great tip, start gluing and laying from the middle of the roof then out to the edges this will stop any wrinkles

[@ascott6804]

These types of repairs don't have to be 30min long! Thanks for getting right into it! The idea to separate front and back fasteners and doing one half at a time was good advice. Thanks !!

Quality build is a thing of the past 2 generations. My headliner lasted 5 years.

[@virgilstraker5211]

I've watched a few videos with how to remove and clean the old sponge off the headliner. What do you suggest for the removal of the old glue?

[@ReecesAutoHeadliningRepairs]

Excellent demonstration guys, I'll Subscribe for some inspiration 🙂 That headliner fabric you were using looks like the style that gives you a once only attempt at laying it down otherwise lifting back up can cause foam layer to separate. Have you posted links to your KZbin gear? As I got a quick question for you, With your audio, you do guys use a Tascam lapel mic and sink up the track to the video clip in post production? or does the audio clip go directly onto the video clip while filming via Bluetooth?

[@gmp8817]

Use a small foam paint trim roller or a small piece of the same foam headliner to gently spread the foam backed headliner onto the backer board. Using hands and fingers directly may leave indents or depressions where the glue has soaked through the foam. I hope you went back and cleaned up the corners because the final video (of the headliner standing upright) shows the liner not glued down in the corners and contours. Otherwise, great video, thanks for the tips.

[@stuartbear922]

The sun visor areas you did are coming loose already! Look in the corners. If you don't get all the inside corners, the headliner will start sagging again.

[@hyair38]

He talks about it, it's a hole where the sunviser gets attached.

[@jackharkness4896]

Excellent video for that particular car. How about those of us whose car doesn't have a backer of any kind?

I have thin foam for car upholstery at work. But I want black head liner though. Is it okay if I install the thin foam first then overlap it with this thin material I found that I like? Or is the foam really necessary because I was thinking of just not using foam and just using the thin material it has like a soft layer in the back

[@TwistedPerceptions01]

I'm curious as to how many cans would one need to use to put the new fabric on the headliner panel? About to do my 97 jeep grand cherokee as I have everything to do so but couldn't help but wonder if 2 cans of the adhesive would be enough.

[@Van-du8uz]

I just watched another video where they said 2 cans

[@meanstreetsuk]

If the headliner has lots of contours, how do you stop the fabric trying to fold in places? I heard of people stretching the liner material for those areas??

Hi I am a question do you tell us what kind of bond you used.

[@roofermarc1]

So I have a four runner and the liner doesn't have foam under it. It's adhered directly to the substrate. I can't remove it. Can I glue another liner on top of the existing liner? It's not loose anywhere just dirty with smoke and stains from the sunroof leak.

[@glenhalstead2301]

What material do you use: backed with polyethylene or with polyuretane? Where do you buy material? How much per linear foot (5 ft width)

[@karinamorales7876]

Other people recommended that I use a pressure hose to remove the glue, because if I did it with pots I would have marks and I don't know what to do because I need to completely fix my heatliner but I have low resources so someone can do it for me or buy a pressure gun, they are very expensive

[@Luna25174]

[@damaryslopez3603]

Where did you buy your headliner roll

[@jaz8615]

what did u spray it with

[@treadwaycustoms1419]

Good job. When you over lap the headliner on the sides couldn't you use staples on the back side to make it so it doesn't ever peel away? Like how people staple the back side of dirt bike/atv seat covers.

[@CautiousCrow]

I don't think the backing cardboard(?) is thick enough for staples. It's way thinner than a dirt bike seat and the staples might show through on the other side.

[@kaiyaalysha1325]

It still wouldn’t prevent sagging over time
