Refinish headliner?

[iamdub]

Agreed about the spray adhesive--although I've used the 3M spray in my Bonneville's headliner years ago, and it never failed.

Yes, if I HAD to use a DIY aerosol type, I'd look at nothing other than 3M's best. But it's still a risk and you'd have to buy so many of them for one of our headliners that it wouldn't be worth it.

I second this. Everyone I know uses 3M and they have no issues. Also while you're at it you might consider doing the starlight mod, check my writeup on it lol

Is it gray? Here in NJ we have a fabric store called Joanne's Fabrics. They sell gray headliner material--cheap too.

At JoAnne's it's about $5.99 a yard. I do alot of Joanne jobs so I just saw this price last week.
If I do my headliner I'll replace with a vinyl from Joanne's.
I hate the stock foam backed stuff. The foam is usually what goes bad. Not the glue.

Yeah the 3M stuff is good. I used it on my Suburban headliner and for the foam in my outboard engine's hood.

How's it been holding up to the heat? Been in there for awhile?

2 years until I sold it, my '91 Burb. The outboard motor cover about 5 months but I been running the balls off it and it seems fine so far.

Yeah.

I know it was years ago but i just read your ‘hole’ thread on gmsquare... good werk brutha. I did a few of my g-bodies, k5’sand pickem ups when i was a yung buck. I swapped the stupid whit 2 hole pattern headliners to the cloth on a few too. I think I bought that headliner material at jcwhitney. And yes i used a shop vac and wire brush, cardboard and duct tape to cover and fix cracks... ahh good times, good times...
