Mini Van Headliner Repair

Perhaps not the best solution to a sagging headliner but it is far less expensive than the many hundreds of dollars you will pay to have a new headliner installed. Necessary tools are a can of contact cement, a box of 18 gauge x 1 inch needles (do NOT buy the "Blunt" needles) and a tube of "Laser Bond" which can all be purchased on eBay. I hope this video is helpful.

"Lazer Bond" (Yes, with a "z")

Thanks brother

[@BMWRestored]

You should have used a roller and waited few mins before sticking the material on..this would have allowed the glue to absorb a bit and not stain the material

[@thurm101]

Looks good. I got a few bad spots in my honda that I am going to tackle. Thanks for the confidence.

[@ThisIsToolman]

Clever use of the needle. I’m surprised that the glue can doesn’t come with it.

[@N68172]

Thanks for sharing. Just the solution I was looking for. Did the stains fade as the adhesive dried?

[@beegee22]

Great demonstration. Thanks! 👍👍👏👏

[@joschpz4715]

What a great idea. Thanks

[@Killashandra111]

It is now over a year later. How well did this hold up?

[@dirtymind1977]

Thanks for the idea. Did the repair last, everyone wants to know?

[@alexandercuellar]

Hi, I have used several glues, but when the ceiling heats up it peels off again, doesn't this happen with loctite?

[@btsarmylovemyselfadedicati5295]

Hello how long did the glue last before the material sagged again please. Thanks

[@susananderson9619]

Wish I had discovered your vid last year. My headliner started to sag in a lil spot.Wasnt long, the sag started spreading. Then the whole liner sagged

[@user-pf5xq3lq8i]

So what happened to the marks? Did they fade away?

[@nelsonwells1010]

So 2 years later, how'd it hold up?

[@robmartin217]

Same problem here....what specific needles are the called?

[@Killashandra111]

Is there any reason why you couldn’t just use Cyanoacrylate glue (a.k.a. Krazy glue) instead of having the expense of that special dental glue to glue the needle to the spray can?

[@SanitiveRevolution]

Yes.

[@michaelcruz2652]

Where do you have your shop i need one done.

[@billbucktube]

When I watched this I wondered about gluing to the foam that failed in the first place? I got the needles did the spray, let it dry for a couple of minutes and massaged the liner into place. It stuck and I showed it to my wife, she said, "Looks good!" until two days later when it had released everywhere. Apparently gluing to the surface of the failed foam is not a hood idea! I'm going to look up the guy that mentioned tacking it up. He may be getting through the foam and gluing all the way through from fabric to the hardliner.

[@btsarmylovemyselfadedicati5295]

Hi did you find a better solution?

[@billbucktube]

@@btsarmylovemyselfadedicati5295 Unfortunately, no. I'm thinking of taking the whole ceiling out and cleaning and regluing new professonal grade fabric.

[@btsarmylovemyselfadedicati5295]

@@billbucktube ok thanks, they quoted me R2000 to redoo the roof.

[@cirorama10]

GOOD.... 😀

[@robmartin217]

Reccomend gorilla adhesive spray?

[@SanitiveRevolution]

3M Spray90, (green can), would be a better choice.

[@robmartin217]
