| STEP 1...Remove all the trim from the outside of
headliner and sunvisors. Remove visors, dome light, grab handles,
clothes hanger hooks, etc.; anything that holds up headliner. It
is a good rule of thumb to start removing the trim from front to
back. (what I'm saying is don't start in the middle...but have a
pattern--it makes it simpler) |
|
STEP 2...This allows the headliner board to drop
freely down so it can be removed from the automobile. |
 |
|
 |
| STEP 3...Remove the old material from the
headliner board carefully so as not to destroy the board itself.
Many headliner boards today are constructed from fiberglass...it
has rigidity but also easily destroyed. The board should be
completely cleaned of the old foam using a household brush (my
preference) or grill brush. (you don't have to remove the old
glue; it is almost impossible) |
|
STEP 4...The board should look something like
this when you have removed the old deterioated foam from it. |
 |
|
 |
| STEP 5...Now place the material on the board
allowing for about equal excess on each side; fold back at the
middle and spray both the board and the foam side of the material
with the aresol glue. (a good even coat) Now fold the material
down over the board and rub it out (press cloth against board)
with the palm of your hand. |
|
STEP 6...Your finished headliner should look
something like this. Now trim the excess headliner fabric from
the edges of the board, and cut holes for the visors, clothes
hooks, etc. |
 |
| STEP 7...Replace the headliner the same way it came out and
line it up using the holes you cut for the visors. Replace all
the trim and you should have a finished product like this. |
