2004 Honda Accord - Headliner Repair and Replacement Fix Instructional Video - 2003 and 2005 Also

[@rohangangar6210]

A few tips: 1. Make sure to glue and smoothen properly, do not, I repeat do not put the fabric on the glue in one instance. Go slow and make sure you do not have any folds or wrinkles. I have a wrinkle and it ruins the whole look. Trust me, be careful as that glue will not give you any room to remove and re-install. 2. The B pillars, between two doors, are easy to move if ya need, just pull the two panels back to form a triangle. They will unhinge and the top grey one will fall, later when reinstalling form a triangle and just put them from the vertex straight back in (make sure hinges are aligned). 3. The lights will not turn on when the screws are taken off so.. don't worry! 4. Make sure you clean the old headliner COMPLETELY! It is really dirty, I found a rag and your bare hands can work (for mine at least) 5. The headliner is made of foam so be careful when getting it out of the car, also there will be wires connected with tape at the top un-tape it and you can always re-tape later (the wires are for the lights) 6. When cutting holes for handles and stuff make sure you make the holes big enough almost as big as the whole since you need to get the screws and bolts through. Leave a like if this helps!

Is one spray bottle enough? Went to 3 autoszones and only found one headliner fabric spray. Permatex

[@rohangangar6210]

@@Carlossteezyblunts wow I forgot about this comment, been years! Yeah one is enough. I had a close to empty can when I was done.

[@Carlossteezyblunts]

@@rohangangar6210 lol cool. And yeah just got done with my headliner an hour ago. Barely made it with one can. Thanks for the reply tho I appreciate it.

[@rohangangar6210]

@@Carlossteezyblunts nice! ironically, I was just watching videos on how to get a subwoofer wired in. I replaced the head unit recently got an aftermarket radio for the accord on ebay for $150, carplay adapter for $60. This car is going places! used to be my sisters...

[@stevegough3212]

Headliner material at Joannes fabric $28(2yards+1`2 inches because i also replaced my center console armrest piece. 3M Headliner glue spray can at Kragen Auto $22. FYI - handi Tech tip for taking off the old foam BS: I used a rotary spin brush for cleaning tile in my cordless drill. Tool took about 10 minutes to burnish the fiberglass headliner shell to be foam free.

[@Live-Life-Freely]

For anyone considering doing this, do it. But only if your quote is more than $100, which most are. The quote for my suburban was $350. It cost me $50 in materials and my headliner is 10 FT, yes 10ft. I didn't do a pro job, but it looks awesome!

[@brianm6060]

Exactly

[@kalhara1000]

Thanks for the video man. I Just replaced the headliner in my 2004 accord. everything went smoothly and it's look good as new. local shop want to charge $160 and i done it for $40.

[@brianm6060]

Hell yeah, that's what it's all about.

[@rohangangar6210]

where did you buy it from?

[@Essays4College]

My local shop wants to charge me $400! I told him go pound sand.

[@lourod9452]

Thank you very much for taking your time to record it and upload it here! May God bless you always!

[@thepowerofyourvoicepodcast]

Great video sir, thank you. I have a 2003 Honda Accord and need to replace mine as it is falling apart. Those toddlers had some fun in the back... haha... I looked at prices online and to purchase a new one is over $500, so doing it yourself is much better and honestly, who cares if it is perfect. This looks great. Thank you!!!

[@wlance930]

Doing mine on a 2005 Tl. I used the fan shape nozzle on a high pressure water jet to remove all the old powdery foam. Came out clean.

[@_valles3438]

Thank you! I finally did mine and its kind of bad but hey at least its not hanging and leaving orange dust everywhere anymore.

[@louismenditto1917]

Patience of a saint. Good job!

[@ZacVaper]

Just about an impossible job for one person to do. With that said, you did a good job.

[@loua.6849]

Great job on the repair! Thank you for sharing this video!

[@rhymeister]

Haven't finished it yet but I used a broom, mostly, to take the old glue off the old plastic or fiberglass panel and the fabric, and then put the fabric in the washing machine on gentle cycle but had to do it twice and used Spray N Wash the second time as the glue appeared to cause some stains. It looks okay and good enough to reuse. Don't really want to spend a whole lot as this is for my mom's old car which has a number of minor dents. The hardest part was getting the dang thing out of the car's interior, LOL!

[@brianm6060]

Indeed lol

[@americanboychronicles]

Thx for the video, is one spray of glue enough?

[@brianm6060]

It was for me

[@ashleyyale123]

I have an '05 civic em2 2 door coupe. Are the bolt sizes the same for the em2?

[@المدینةالمنورة-د9ز]

can use the imitation leather for car ceiling? thank you

[@jimmyross4352]

Very good video, thanks! I had no idea the headliner was attached to a molded removable part. I think I'm going to see what's at our local Pull a Part, seeing as I have to go there anyhow.

[@Essays4College]

do they sell other colors other than gray?

[@russoftexas6235]

Did just one can of the 3m adhesive get the whole job done?

[@brianm6060]

Russ Of Texas yes sir had a bit left over

[@scotchbudmeister9018]

I would have stuck some dynamat on the inside of the roof while it was off. Great video!

[@Carlossteezyblunts]

These guys don’t know anything about that leave them alone. Poor souls 🤣

[@olenaerhardt7725]

What a great job! May I have your opinion about relatively new products, like VViViD Beige Adhesive Weatherproof Faux Leather Marine Vinyl? I think maybe it would be easier to adhere, and maybe it will stay attached better and more secure, since this type of product is also used for the outside of the car (not particular this one but similar). Thank you for the extraordinary good film on so hard work done so well.

[@joshboone1512]

how is it still holding up now I want to do the repair I just don't want to have to redo this every couple months.

[@brianm6060]

Josh Boone holding up very well. Make sure to use the 3m adhesive.

[@hassanrana3838]

Where did you bought the headliner?

[@veliromn]

Thank you for video! Question - no insulation to the new headliner? or headliner comes insulated?

[@brianm6060]

Headliner fabric specifically has a foam backing. So that's insulated

[@ddemier]

Did ALL those packaging wrinkles go away over time or just some of them?

[@brianm6060]

They went away.

[@jackleg2007]

Mine just got really bad. What should be the average time from start to finish?

[@brianm6060]

I would say half a day if you were figuring everything out. So 4 hours

[@hernandezhernandez-sw4oq]

excuse me a question what size is the headliner

[@fg4steve]

Any difference if I have a sunroof?

[@_valles3438]

Proloid it still comes off similar to this video, except it has the rectangle for the sunroof, I just sprayed painted mine lol.

[@Njcrisus]

How much fabric do i need

[@elijahturner5384]

How long did it take you from start to finish?

[@brianm6060]

Probably 2 hours max including filming lol.

[@marclaaq]

Mine just fell out on me this morning and men it ruined my day, thanks

[@302diamondstate7]

I had my driverside window,down doin 65 mph on the freeway and it just came down flapping all over with foam everywhere I was pissed

[@marclaaq]

lol, yea i still find one or 2 pieces of foam every now and then. dreading what is going to fall apart next.

[@agalpalacio9157]

Hey is there such thing as buying the headliner material too cheap? (quality of it) The reason i ask is becuase i bought the material from a pep boys and i bought their other brand glue that wasn’t the 3M brand, because the foam layer on the fabric deteriorated all the way and just didn’t held up, so do the quality of the fabric and glue really make a difference? -Thanks-

[@brianm6060]

Not sure about the fabric, but for sure the brand of glue matters and probably that is what failed for you. Make sure to get 3M as often as you can whenever picking adhesives such as tape or anything. Once you start using it you'll understand. amzn.to/2kNjaNB

[@johnaxlfrancisco5481]

So what is the measurements?

[@jonathansanders6282]

Great job bro. Two quick questions. Where can I purchase a headliner and what did you use to remove the old glue?

[@k-1m-230]

Jonathan Sanders. Amazon

[@juliosanchez9263]

Thanks for the video!

[@jamzempire]

This same thing is happening to my roof liner... the only issue with the car!

[@brianm6060]

Dude, fix it and fix it now. I put it off for like 4 months and had my damn liner on my head for that long. ANNOYING!!!

[@steftoha8780]

Good video...

[@nilsonmerlo13]

Fabric color please

[@lancecruwys2177]

What drill is that?

[@brianm6060]

Porter cable from lowes

Good job, just one thing how massive is your neighbours lawn.

[@brianm6060]

Lol, we have 3/4 acre lots in our neighborhood.

[@zmonstamaui]

Good stuff bro thanks!!

[@bellabanks5115]

where are you located

[@brianm6060]

Georgia

[@anttrip1644]

nice

[@ohblokk4]

Great video 👍🏽

[@paeng1521]

I would have dewrinkled the fabric first before installing it. Maybe with a steamer. But thanks im watching this to repair mine.

[@brianm6060]

I think that would be a good idea if you want it perfect. Mine still has a little wrinkle so yup.

[@Nate_Squared]

Nice hat!

[@brianm6060]

Go Dawgs :D

[@knottreel]

I congratulate you. When that first wrinkle appeared, I would have be cussing so much the the project would be over.

[@ChillAvenueCreativeLab]

a local upholstery guy wants to do this for $300. lol

[@brianm6060]

I would charge 300 for this if I was a business, it's worth that at the most though.

[@tt3sflagorbrag219]

Nice

[@l.crossjr]

Look awsome

[@mejalli81]

Can u at least write or say how much material (fabric) u used for ur car. How was it? Where did u buy if from or what is the best place to get the fabric? Why most videos talk about what tools they used and can't be specific about the important things!

[@brianm6060]

It is in the description of the video right at the top lol :D Headliner Fabric: amzn.to/2AaBPFU 3M Headliner Adhesive: amzn.to/2kNjaNB Door Panel Remover Tool: amzn.to/2kPqrwv

Had to do it myself on my 2005. Couldn’t find a shop that would touch it.

Good video! keep it up! I am new and just subbed! if you can check out my channel you might enjoy it!

[@norcoauctions]

sorry, didnt look that easy. just take your time I guess

[@brianm6060]

Its not super easy but if you have a screw driver and any ability you should be able to do it.

[@keyonna]

This was so awesome and informative u literally gave me everything I need to replace mine on my 2007 accord coupe... Thank you so much

[@brianm6060]

Brittney Randolph thanks Brittney, good luck!

[@jogmas12]

Brittney Randolph you know I have a 1986 1/2. Nissan hardbody truck and just about everything in the interior has fallen apart but the headliner is still intact

[@MissBigTexasBangin]

Do you have to use headliner material? Or would any fabric work? I saw a friend of mine with star wars print and was curious how hard or easy it would be.. thanks for the video!

[@brianm6060]

Michelle B. I would because of the foam backing but you probably could do fabric over the headliner so you have the backing and the style you desire. Just get 2 cans of adhesive.

[@Gevans5472]

I found some headliner material at a fabric store
