It'd be nice your link actually took us to the materials used. But the site doesn't have anything close

[@dawnrobbins5877]

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.

[@payne773]

I was thinking the exact same thing. People who do this definitely get my full respect.

Why cant all tutorials be like this,straight to the point and informative. 10/10

[@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!!!

[@GetOffMyyLawn]

Just want to say thanks for this video... i was quoted over $700 to replace my sagging headliner, and I was able to DIY it for around $100 in fabric and glue over a weekend. The glue sets faster than I expected, so make sure you work quick once you start glue application!

[@aarondodds2994]

What spray adhesive did he use??

[@jerryjones2818]

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.

[@chass5438]

Note: Things look easier than they really are on KZbin projects.

[@daehr9399]

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.

[@warwickdennis4114]

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.

[@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.

[@joannek5429]

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

[@gregdenman2342]

Love this guy. Really puts it towards the average person understand

[@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.

[@ahamilton1544]

I took it out and cleaned it myself, paid a pro to do the gluing, then I reinstalled it. The few hundred dollars extra is worth it to me because I can screw it up and that’s too much of a hassle. He supplied the material and labor. Thanks for the video.

[@stevejacques907]

Congratulations to you bro, im gonna do this definitely, but what is the spray name and where to buy the material for the new headliner?

[@McPerrius]

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!

[@SoManySeats]

Thanks for the teachings. I have now installed a suede American Flag headliner in my chevy silverado and a oem headliner fabric into my 1992 deville with the utmost confidence. I just wanted to come back and say thanks. I was initially quoted $700 to do my old school cadillac. I watched the video like 20 times lol. The 1st job took me all week long but when i did my truck I got it done over the weekned. I even have family and friends asking me to do theirs lol. I assume on my next attempt I will get it done in 3 or 4 hours honestly. Anyways, Im babblin on :) Thanks again!

[@TribbleArtCreations]

I definitely found this helpful, thanks. Definitely need a house with a garage before I do this, not something I can do with the apartment life. Saved this video for future use.

[@BeardedHeroThe]

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

[@crazy4dariver]

Besides being my go to for parts your DIY and how to install videos are the best!

Where can you buy the new headliner material from ? Also the adhesive ? What brand adhesive are you using in this video ?

[@mardicole2534]

I have a 2005 Dodge Caravan and my headliner just started to billow right over my head. I got an estimate of $750+ to replace but that is too much for me to spend on a 20 yr. old vehicle. I bought some headliner spray glue and got it tacked up the best I could (kinda messy tho'). It will do for now but I watched another video also where the guy actually worked on a Dodge Caravan. Your video proves I could not attempt to recover it myself - too much work. If the headliner starts to go south in other areas I think I will just remove the whole thing and live with the bare metal roof.

[@1ajetstar]

I would like to know what type and brand of glue that you used.

[@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 !!

[@webpro607]

What glue spay you recommend to use?

[@andrewjeffries8721]

Awesome! You did that so well, sir! For my 1964 Oldsmobile I need to do the headliner but an older car has no foam, right? I'm not sure how I will replace the torn fabric but this video gives me very good ideas of how to start. Thank you, sir!

Thanks for sharing what type of spray to use 😵‍💫

[@zen_ccg]

I'm very glad to have seen this AND Ithink I'll go pay a professional to do this for me as I am not going to be capable of doing this myself. However I greatly appreciate the process and understanding of what goes into this

[@stephenbruce8320]

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.

[@Lucy00682]

Great job...now I know how to install a new headliner in my 98 Corolla. Thank you.

[@PresidentPlayback]

This was an excellent explanation by an excellent teacher

[@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.

[@margofitzgerald5395]

Great video now, I'm up for the challenge. 👍

[@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

[@fireshack]

What is the adhesive you used?

[@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?

[@abnertoc5166]

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

[@leepham650]

What glue and liner materials did you use? Thanks

[@warwickmilne3149]

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

[@Alex-f6v4b]

Thanks for a video.. Its probably better to replace the whole panel

[@hugh3rdof5]

Interesting, nicely done, except leaves us hanging on key spots. At min 3:45, you're showing replacement material without specifying that this is a headliner combined with backing? (something you sell?) Same thing with the glue you use... Is this the notorious 3m stuff -- infamous for seeping through fabric and making a general mess? (and I'm watching this after seeing several professional installers expound at length on why they apparently never recommend gluing... Confused even more now)

[@captinkiller]

After the foam is removed would that be a decent surface to paint ? Instead of redo the fabric ?

[@shayla4719]

what glue did you use in the video or what glue would you recommend using?

[@1AAuto]

+@shayla4719 You can use any kind of spray adhesive.

[@johnathonuncapher7523]

[@west_park7993]

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

[@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.

[@rs-vl2im]

I ended up buying a new headliner all together. and installed it. 6 months later the new fabric is sagging. any idea what's causing this? so frustrating.

[@mattrobinson22]

One part isn’t so clear, should I drop the transmission before or after I lift the engine block out?

[@andrewoliver9686]

I just recently fixed mines....thumb tacks 😁. But love the video 😏👌🏾

[@susannaholmes1275]

Can I do this without taking the headliner out? I realize it might be harder but I guess the question I’m asking is will gravity pull the newly glued fabric down before it sets?

[@pauldow1648]

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

[@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.

[@owenaten285]

[@jackharkness4896]

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

[@99shadows66]

How do I search for this headliner fabric on your website? I typed headliner fabric and got nada. How about a link that brings us right to where this fabric is because it's universal so trying it vehicle-specific probably won't work either.

[@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

Can you use carbon fiber vinyl instead of fabric

[@benniedonald]

Could you just make a fiber glass copy of the liner. Then put that up instead. Because the foam is going to deteriorate again anyway. You could even put insulation on the top.

[@paguerro1696]

You didn't explain what you sprayed, is it glue? Cement?

[@nathannavarrete9089]

Very professiona, exactly the video i was looking for 👍

[@Renulph]

What do you do if the car doesn't even have a headliner? Mine was sagging, but it seemed to be a bunch of different pieces instead of one cohesive piece. Definitely some aftermarket garbage, but the car was bought from a Toyota dealership long ago (98 Camry). Tried getting another headliner from a junkyard from the same car, but it didn't line up with the aftermarket sunroof and even had a different switch location and the holes for other things like the sunglasses holder were in different spots. Really complicated problem, hope you guys can help!

[@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?

[@cesarvillegas3274]

What type of glue spray is that?

[@WhereInLACA]

I don’t know what’s weirder. The fact that I just watched an entire video of replacing a roof headliner or the fact that I’m reading every single comment and leaving my own 2 cents in the comments section. Kinda strange but whatever. This was a good video!
