That's what I was hoping to do I found a guy here locally party went out and he said he'll give me that bucket for 20 bucks so I just need to get some time and pick it up so I can try it out. But I think I will still need to get a new bezel because mine is off the 2002 Escalade
Headliners are a pita, especially if you don't have help.
You are absolutely right! I definitely could have used help. Said I had to walk side to side a thousand times in a hurry to because it's so hot here the glue dries right away. It came out pretty good there's one spot in the back that has like a one each stress mark wages from it drying in I tried to pull it back and it would not because it was already stuck lol. I'll have to take a closer look at it when I get home from work today because it was too late and dark last night to go over it closely. What sucks is I almost went to the upholstery store Friday late afternoon before it closed to get another gallon of the good weldwood dap glue. But figured I have enough. I also wrapped it around the edge in enter so all the way around where I could that way it can't fall down. I have done a few of them before but in regular cab pickup trucks that's a big difference LOL that's a monster ass headliner once you have it out and in front of you. It took me probably a few hours I would say just to prep it and that's what using a air tool with a wire cone on it.
I've done a few, and the longer they are, the more of a pita they are. Did you spray both sides with the glue? I'd let it cure for a day or 2, just to make sure. I've reglued a few edges that seemed fine, but eventually would fall because of the sun heating it up.
It is actual headliner material from a upholstery supply store here in town . Has 1/8 foam on the bottom. When I went to cut the holes out I noticed that there's a plastic layer in between the material and foam also. Makes it a pain in the rear to cut.
Thank you! I would like to get it done but when its 112° outside there's not much motivation haha. I should just cut the bedroom wall in between it in the garage and pull it into the house LOL
No problem. Its 60" wide I think 4 yards. Can't remember. I used a wire cone to clean off the old foam. It's not to hard just laid out and make sure you have it centered good enough to fit and fold it in half then you glue both sides start from the middle and work your way to the back or front whichever one you want to go first but just make sure there's no tension you kind of just sit there and rub your hand flat and make sure there's no wrinkles I wrap my mind around the edges and inch that way it can't fall down like the factory ones if it does ever fall back down. Good luck man you have any questions just holler at me.
