Using material other than headliner material

ID #1061

If I use a different fabric than headliner fabric how would I go about installing it? Do I apply it over my original headliner if it is still in good shape? Do I attach it to the old headliner with adhesive or some kind of fusable bonding material?

If you are going to cover over an existing headliner with another layer of material, the best way to do it is to install over the cloth already on the headliner board (that is if its in good enough shape). Trying to remove it will be next to impossible without damaging the board. If you decide to do something like this, it would be wise to get a high temp spray adhesive that will endure the heat and still provide a strong bond for "as long as the two shall be joined together." The highest quality aerosol spray adhesive (for the average consumer) we have found is the 3M 76 high tack, which should not be confused with the super 77 that can be found anywhere.

We sell 2 different types of aerosol adhesive -- 3M 76 high tack and Max professional.
