Headliner Replacement.wmv

When you get the headliner board out (remove the trim, dome lights, sun visors, etc, then the board), this is how you prepare the headliner board and replace the fabric - Hancock fabrics has the material available for a little more than 10 bucks a yard - this material cost about 30 bucks (3 yards). It requires no special equipment. This lady is Debbie - she taught upholstery at the college for years and is very good at what she does. This headliner was for my 2001 Jeep Cherokee...

Hancock Fabrics has it...

There is no smell.

The upholstery instructor said it would have cost $350 to have this done by a trim shop. I spent $35 or so. And it still looks good. Pulling the board out and putting it back is actually the hardest part - harder on some cars than others.

The tedious part is taking the headliner board out and putting it back. And I'd cut the holes to match the ones in the board rather than making small X cuts - it works better that way. Careful with your plastic trim and lights!

Not sure I know what you mean by the "backing."

to take the dome light out do you have to drop the liner down?

[McCuistian]

@burkdogg21 Not on any vehicle I've ever worked on!!!!

I think its like a foam are like a carpet like material down before. I would lay down the suade are is it ok to put the suade directly to the headliner board
