Honda Accord Headliner Upholstery repair

[@BryanRyals]

This is the BEST installation bid that I’ve seen. You make me feel like I can do this myself.

[@afara2000]

I have watched many Accord headliner replacement videos, they all lack details. This video covers from A to Z. Great job.

[@richniemi1312]

This is a great video showing what to do without a lot of unnecessary back story and words. Wish more how to videos were like this.

[@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!

my board got soaked so bad, that it's no good.. or it just seems to be incredibly thin.. What do you suggest? Thanks in advance..

[@stonerzz1]

Yeah you say don't put it on the fabric as well but 95% of people put it on the fabric and it seems to hold if you know anything about adhesive materials when you have it on both materials from the stronger Bond I mean but who am I I'm just a guy that you know has been doing things for years on his own trying new things the find out what works best but apparently you know better than everyone

[@LUk3.M.]

He didnt say dont put the glue on the fabric. He said dont do it all at once. Instead do it a little at a time, instead of spreading it over the entire thing and it starts drying too quickly.@@stonerzz1

[@its_eba]

This was very helpful but It would be great idea to have lighting.

[@alberoDiSpazio]

Much more professional than simply using adhesive spray.

[@nominee0]

Thank you i had retired from lyft because of this. I didn't know what i needed to do to get the headliner out, now thanks to you i do. I think i'll reapply a black finish to match my leather.

[@Devilofaguy]

I did my exact car this way, except I changed the headliner to black. With all the black and gray it looks good.

[@alanpules4105]

This was just great. But, for future videos, can you get some lighting so we can see what you're doing??? Kinda felt like I was in the "Batcave" for awhile there. Still, very informational without words. Good job ...👍😎

[@benrobertson7316]

This video is going to help me so much with my accord and the comments have been great help. I was concerned about were to get the fabric from and I'm so glad to here you got it from a San Antonio location which is where I'm from so now I wont have to go far. Thanks for the great video

[@shuvang]

Man you made this look so easy. Going to give it a go. Great video.

[@brianturner9657]

Very informative. I have always heard that when touching the fabric its recommended to wear latex gloves. Somehow the oil from your hand actually is one of the reasons headliners fail. Don’t know if true or not but the video is fantastic

[@scootersonlyrepair6773]

😂it's not

[@Valdemar-Perez-III]

Removing the headliner off the car is probably the worst part.

[@ricgomez1]

Just get a circle soft wire brush and put it on a drill

[@57holloway]

what kind of glue are you using and what do you use ( the name of the chemical or product) to clean off the reside glue? Thanks

[@runnelguerra2355]

🔥 great work, tons of work though

[@juancarlosblancokrauss3020]

Hi that's a very nice and clean job. I'm going to replace the headliner on my 2005 Accord. It's the same interior trim color as yours. Do you have a reference for the headliner fabric that you used? Thanks

[@top-stitchprojects6979]

I'm sorry I don't, I usually get my materials from my local upholstery supply store, and I go with the best visual match. Going with original manufacturer supplied materials can get very expensive

[@juancarlosblancokrauss3020]

@@top-stitchprojects6979 Thanks. Tomorrow I'm going to check Keystone in San Diego. Already removed the headliner. I hope I find a good match

[@alexmoreno8537]

Never mentioned where to buy the glue, what kind of glue, how long it sets before putting the liner!!! All that would help!!

[@top-stitchprojects6979]

I get my supplies from a local upholstery supply shop, the glue is Weldwood brand industrial glue, and it only takes about 5 to 10 minutes to set, it sprays on wet then becomes tacky after about a minute, wich is when you apply the new liner and then let it set

[@210jmo]

3 questions: -how many yards of fabric did you have to get?I have an accord and i live in SA too, am going to check out the place you mentioned. -can you remove all the old foam with just a wire brush? i don't have professional tools -did you wait overnight for the glue to dry or just pop it back in? I'm going to have to try the 3M headliner adhesive

[@top-stitchprojects6979]

I used 2 yards for this project, yes you can remove the old foam with just a wire brush, the glue i use sets after just a few minutes, although you might want to follow the instructions on the glue you purchase.

[@MegaJap3]

When you removed the old foam, there is a tacky residue left behind. Did you, or do you need to, use a degreaser to clean the headliner from the old glue residue before using the new glue?

[@top-stitchprojects6979]

If the old glue residue is too thick and deteriorated, then yes it will have to be removed with a solution, but most of the time it simply comes off with the old foam no problem.

[@MegaJap3]

Thanks. Your video was very helpful. I'm not too sure about the glue though. All of the foam came off with a stiff brush, but the glue residue is tacky but not very thick.

[@top-stitchprojects6979]

Grab a cloth and remove what you can before applying the new glue. Also don't be afraid to use a generous amounts of glue to make a long lasting bond.

[@seekersees693]

Anyone know what they roughly costs to have replaced on a 2012 Honda Acord with moonroof? By the way, you did a great job on this. I have the tools and time but I've never doon this. No issue with repairing mechanical issues but never dipped into to upholstery, carpet, trim, or paint.

[@user-bj4nu4jf4d]

My Honda Accord 2012 needs this to lol

[@seekersees693]

My daughter had a 2005 Honda Accord and the headliner was replaced by the original owners. She ended up upgrading to a 2012 and the headliner started falling off. I've seen this talked about on the Honda Accord forums. Apparently, Honda uses cheap glue when it comes to the headliners. I still haven't had it done. I haven't had much time. I need to call around to see if I can get some estimates. @@user-bj4nu4jf4d

[@joselinsilva5017]

What tools did you need size of Alan wrench and what not gonna give it a go!

[@josievanmatre696]

Can I do this with a material I buy from Walmart or something

[@WhoKnowsWhy25]

Do you remember the size the seatbelt bolt was? Also did you have to do anything with the C pillars in the back?

[@Mr.Bearns]

Honestly you can't see much of anything except shadows but it seems to be a good video I guess.

[@romarro4616]

Great work

[@jqsqueue]

i have the same accord about how much fabric did you use? thanks great video.

[@top-stitchprojects6979]

2 yards of it should be plenty, enough to hang over on all sides

[@jqsqueue]

[@semihyilmaz4699]

What kind of adhasive did you use? I have a spray gun as well, but I don't know what kind of glue I can spray with it.

[@lincmerc1581]

What's the average cost to have this done? 2004 Accord LX. No sunroof?

[@top-stitchprojects6979]

It really depends on the shop you take it to, and the quality your looking for, i would say average would be around 300$ price range. You can save by doing it yourself, the cost of the headliner material and glue should be around 50$

Im looking to repair my liner as well. What was the brand of glue that you used, and the gun that you used to spray it?

The glue is industrial strength Weldwood brand contact adhesive, and the gun is just a muti purpose air spray gun that can be found in most hardware store, i think you can find one for about 20$ at Harbor Freight Tools

[@top-stitchprojects6979]

I'm assuming it should work if its a multipurpose air gun, but the volume of the container attached doesn't hold much, you might have to refill several times to completely cover the liner shell and material.

[@top-stitchprojects6979]

I personally don't hold to much faith in the spray can adhesives (because of past experiences) the weldwood or other industrial strength glues are what i use for headliners to guarantee a strong permanent bond

Honestly i don't quite remember, i match it to the closest available material in my sample book

[@dynaway]

whats the roofliner material dimension needed for the Accord?

[@top-stitchprojects6979]

I used 2 yards for this, but you will need 3 yards if you have a sunroof

[@dynaway]

2 yards (abt 1.8m?) for the length? how abt the width?

[@top-stitchprojects6979]

The rolls of headliner material are around 1.5 m across, and it should hang over the shell on all sides

[@dynaway]

thank you very much. i tried repairing the headliner 2 days bac...only manage to stick for 1 day... now its dropping on my head again... looks like really have to remove the old foam to make it stick

[@top-stitchprojects6979]

Just make sure to clean it up as best as possible, and using a very generous amount of glue, for a long lasting bond
