Headliner Project on 88 GP SE


Recommended Posts

HAI!

 

So I was sick of the headliner touching my head and not being able to see out the rear window, so I replaced the fabric.

 

Total headliner failure:

Gluing process:

And a little trimming later... Complete! This project was quite the pain in the ass, namely getting the fabric spread out evenly on GLUE lol.

Please forgive the asstastic angles, it is surprisingly hard to take pics of a headliner, lol.

Uh it doesnt gave a domelight?

It has map lights AND a dome light all as one unit. The center light on the overhead console is the dome light and the outer two bulbs can be turned on individually.

I think you are about the only member here who can get away with a fabric like that.

 

Not my style but looks like a good job.

Thanks all!

 

And it matches really really well!

Oh BTW, this project cost about $20 and only took a couple of hours.

 

$14 for the 3M spray adhesive, and $6 for the fabric padding that I put on under the patterned fabric.

so you glued the foam to the headliner board, then glued the fabric to the foam? i ask cause my tgp has no headliner at all currently, but i do have the board i removed a year or so ago

A few designs I've thought about throwing in the GP. If I did the head liner.....I'd probably have to do the door panels as well to match.... :shrug:

It's actually not foam, but a thin fleece remnant I got from walmart, just to make it feel factory and add some thickness. I was just going to glue the fabric to the headliner board, but I felt it would feel cheap and possibly even let in more sound.

Your fabric is FaBuLoUs!!!!

 

Hope you bought the 3M super 90 spray or you'll be redoing it in the middle of summer!
