I just bought a piece of this fabric from a fabric store because it had a cool design/pattern on it. It doesn't have foam on it and I don't plan to add any, do I need to worry about the glue soaking through the thin material and using looking bad? Could just be me but it looked like you applied the glue pretty thick; could I get away with going thinner so as to avoid seepage through my thinner material?

[@ReecesAutoHeadliningRepairs]

@@RandoManFPV t65 glue sprays thinly, so usually on most non headliner fabrics, extra caution is required, but possible to not get any glue seeping through fabric, just don't puddle the glue anywhere 👍

[@RandoManFPV]

@@ReecesAutoHeadliningRepairs thank you 🙏

[@joshthompson1755]

Love how you talked over after you shot the video. Also loved how you got right to the point with no stupid intro. Thank you, easy to follow.

[@ReecesAutoHeadliningRepairs]

Excellent, glad you enjoyed 👍 that was our goal with this video, and same for most of our newer videos, which is to get straight to the point, and don't waste anyone's time 👍 Our older videos had intros, and music etc, but moving away from that these days

[@dawnfield978]

Except he keep saying the HEADLINer board was sagging. IT was not JUST THE MATERIAL was sagging. Trust me the board itself, if you can find depending on the age, is the MOST expensive part to replace.

[@aleksandrsgerasimovs6135]

Nice! No mumbling around, just straight up necessary information, quick and easy to understand! Thank you!

[@thomasstrang3012]

Last month I replace the headliner in my Honda Ridgeline. I watches lots of videos but Reece’s videos were the reason I built enough confidence to take on the job myself. I buddy was going to help me, but got sick the day before the work was planned so I had to ask my wife to help me. I found Reece’s recommendation totally and the job came out perfect. Thanks Reese - the 3M adhesives were great too.

[@ReecesAutoHeadliningRepairs]

That's excellent to hear you got the job completed with help from this video, great work mate 👍

[@RandoManFPV]

Ah wild me and my gf are working on replacing the headliner on her ridgeline rn lol.

[@miket1290]

I am getting ready to do my Ridgeline, how man cans of 3M adhesive did it take?

[@ClintsHobbiesDIY]

The best headliner replacement vid on YT. Short and to the point. Many thanks. I'm about to do my first. This vid really helped.

[@ReecesAutoHeadliningRepairs]

Awesome, thank you!

[@anwyllleona9605]

Appreciation goes out to both you for making this so easy to follow, and whoever your cameraman was for following you so closely while you worked without getting in your way! Kudos to the whole bit of content.

[@ReecesAutoHeadliningRepairs]

Thanks for the positive feedback, Just used the GoPro for this filming so just all done myself (filming, the job itself and editing) 🎥👍

[@paulahopeheine]

The best guys to do auto headlining repairs make the ultimate video

[@Patriot677]

Absolutely the best video I've seen on headliner installation!!!

[@Reece.wilson]

Thank you 👍👍😁

[@stara808]

you are the only one to wear mask/protection! out f 4 vids!

[@ReecesAutoHeadliningRepairs]

I know, I see heaps of professionals using nothing at all, Exposure long term is not ideal, so definitely safety gear is required 👍

[@skipads8784]

When this was my job in the early '90s we never used a material with padding attached and instead had three different thicknesses of padding to choose from to install before the material. Often patterns would be installed in the 1/4" foam then overlaid with 1/8" followed by a customer chosen fabric. One of the best looking jobs finished was a black metallic fabric with roses in a black Monte Carlo SS.

[@scootersonlyrepair510]

Using foam is asking for it to fail again. I remove the foam and use thicker material and glue it directly to the board.

[@oldtimefarmboy617]

@@scootersonlyrepair510 That would be best, but foam provides insulation from heat coming in from the roof as well as dampening outside noise. So if you like extra quiet or just like the cushioned feel, lots of foam is what you want. But like the videographer stated, if you put glue around the edges and fold the fabric over onto the back side, once it gets fastened back into place, it will be far less likely to start sagging around the edges and cut outs which is where the sagging mostly starts in the first place.

[@jaredkish8716]

What if the cardboard part itself is sagging?

[@lukeduke1573]

Would the process be the same when doing a headliner like that? Glue the foam then the board, let it tack then spread the foam to the board, glue the foam then material, let it tack then spread material?

[@Chris-qb3mg]

Nice 👍

[@ethanvink1710]

By far the most in depth and informative video I have ever seen on this subject! Will hopefully be replacing my headliner this weekend!

[@ReecesAutoHeadliningRepairs]

Excellent Ethan, thats great to hear, and thanks again for the positive feedback 👍👍

[@bmfitzgerald3]

How'd it go Ethan?

[@DannyCooper-ud5dn]

I watched Reece's headliner repair & was no problem with my 06 VW Passat with no s/r. Just make sure you have measured & get enough material! Thanks Reece!

[@johnboscoanosike4927]

Best video so far in this content category.

[@warrenlucier5796]

I had to replace the headliner in my 2010 Cayman S in 2018, after Hurricane Michael went by in Florida. The foam Porsche used didn't get dry and crumbly, instead it was sticky and a pain to remove all of it using acetone to finish cleaning it off. I used an upholstery grade vinyl (crocodile) with a cloth backing and affixed it using a 3M under hood adhesive and so far it hasn't moved. I did the job just like you did in the video.

[@Reece.wilson]

Excellent, glad to hear you completed the process via following this video 👍👍

[@MrCrazyivan01]

This video is a godsend mate. Thanks heaps mate, really appreciate it. As soon as I get home I will be confirming the colour and ordering one. Can't wait to give it a crack!

[@Reece.wilson]

[@Lefebvrelady]

Absolutely beautiful job guys. You can tell you guys know what you’re doing and you’re smart just to concentrate on one thing and do it well.

[@soniao8886]

Excellent video demonstrating headliner replacement, thank you kindly. If I was 30-50 something, I would feel capable to do the headliner replacement myself. While I am handy, even with severe arthritis, the amount of work that you expended, convinced me to hire an auto upholstery to redo the headliner on my old SUV. I very much appreciate your sharing this how to!

[@johnantonello882]

Excellent video, no BS, clear, comprehensive, good product info . A stand out effort, well done and of course very helpful.

[@ellurK]

This video helped me a lot. This vid and another one showing the disassembly of the roof of my specific car were absolutely necessary for me to do this job. I have to say it's quite stressful. Getting the roof out wasn't fun, cleaning off the old sticky stuff wasn't fun, having but one chance at doing this while my only car is torn apart is no fun. And now i still have to put it back together. I'll do that tomorrow.

[@Roxy-q1n]

You verified what I wondered about reusing headliner material (el CHEAPO here). Very good video and narration. You really touched on all the critical points quickly! Camera work excellent! Working time must be longer than the M77 adhesives I have used for plastic laminate work. It needed to dry before sticking the laminate as to not trap gasses from the glue. Nice to have the forgiveness working with the M76 glue. WE SHALL SEE! Thanks for the video!

[@hadyrome5574]

You need to use heat resistant glue. That’s the main thing about which glues to use.

Lovely work mate. I am doing my 1998 Toyota Corolla in just a few days. Got all the material. Wasnt aware of those cuts to make the headliner cloth hug the headliner board nicely. Great tip thanks!

[@ReecesAutoHeadliningRepairs]

Excellent to hear mate, I'm sure you'll do a great job, just be mindful that most Toyota headliner boards can break easily, so will need to limit the amount of flex on these during removal and reinstall, and scrubbing the board gently is required 👍

The hard part of doing upholstery yourself is knowing where and how much to make those cuts to fold around edges, so thank you for showing that. There's other hard parts like knowing what shape to ,are for, for things that need cushion but yeah.

What do you mean for things that need cushion? Are there parts where foam shouldn't be or add more foam?
