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

[@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.

[@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??

[@chass5438]

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

[@snowytw]

My headliner finally started to sag a few months ago and the progression of how much fabric is falling has been extremely fast so I'm glad it is relatively straightforward to reupholster the headliner

[@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.

[@oliviaedson4183]

Thank you, this has helped me decide to not bother replacing the headlining 😂

[@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?

[@joannek5429]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@elijahmashter9587]

I really appreciate 1A auto good quality parts for goood prices with the best tutorials I have ever seen. Thank You for everything

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@crazy4dariver]

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

[@webpro607]

What glue spay you recommend to use?

[@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!

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.

[@laurasutton1551]

Any one know what kind of spray glue this is I don't see it in the info

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

[@motionmann448]

Sooo what spray do I use to make it stick ? Last one I used stopped working after a week and made it sag

[@marianoonan7257]

you did a great job there , very professional , its tricky with the spray glue as it can stray onto the surface your going to see , but anyway it was well done and great video thank you very much

[@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!

What is the adhesive you used?

[@Lucy00682]

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

[@warwickmilne3149]

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

[@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 !!

What glue and liner materials did you use? Thanks

[@PresidentPlayback]

This was an excellent explanation by an excellent teacher

[@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.

[@drabigorspins]

I needed this thank you! Just bought a 99 and yeah saggy is not for me thanks for the video

[@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.

[@bkrgls]

👍🏽Great video. I wish I had a job at 1A Auto! 😔 The videos makes it look like you guys are always having fun at work. LOL!

[@codys9601]

Can this be done with a simple tapestry or something similar to a bed sheet??? With out glue seapage??? Please respond as soon as possible

[@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.

[@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

[@bmann2463]

Looks like the spray adhesive he is using is Permatex headliner adhesive for everyone asking.

[@Luna25174]

Escude me you tell me what materials are you using please??

What adhesive did you use?

[@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.

[@owenaten285]

What kind of spray glue adhesive was that?

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.

[@bel7767]

Nice video. But what kind of spray is that

[@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)

[@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

[@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)

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

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?
