:banghead3: Yes, i know you heard these question a million times before. But i dont found an answer thats working for me. I really need a Headliner for my car. These strange stuff thats in my hair after a ride wouldnt fit me at all. Ok, it will be easy to cut the headliner out, but it looks not so nice. On my other wagon , i tried to take some carpet or whatever, glue and i spend two days to clean the whole interior from glue. What about ABS HEADLINER BOARDS ?? On www.automotiveinteriors.com there is nothing. Some Idea ??? Greetings JB

Replacing a headliner that is glued to a foam board backer sounds a lot more intimidating than it really is. The hardest part of the entire job is the removing and replacing of the trim that holds it up in place. I have done several hundred headliners in my days, as well as doing custom ones, using layered foam to make patterns like flames, scallops, checkerboards... etc.... The glue the shop I worked at came in a 5 gallon bucket and was green, we sprayed it on with an old paint gun. Do not ask me to remember the name of the glue, it has been damn near 10 years since I worked there. What you do is get some good industrial grade spray on glue. The kind that comes out and looks like stringy snot works best and will give you years of flawless use. Then pick out the headliner that you would like. Working in small sections is best, so you can work out any bubbles and wrinkles. You could try a carpet shop, to see if they have any spray on glue that will work good for you. Lay the headliner backer down and clean off all the old fuzzies that are falling off and sticking in your hair. mock up the material and trim it with 3 inches of overlap all around. Starting at one end, front or rear, your choice and spray out around a 2-3 foot section from side to side of the headliner width, covering the area entirely with a good amount of glue and wait for the time specified in the glues instructions. Start working down the material and pressing it into place, using some sort of wallpaper roller works best to be sure it is firmly attached. Continue gluing and working the material down until you cover the entire headliner. Spray glue around the upper side of the board, only around the outside edge to attach the excess and attach your excess 2-3 inches of material, to keep it from working loose and falling down in the future. Allow to dry per the glues instructions, cut out your areas for the sunvisors and dome lights. Reinstall and enjoy your new headliner for years to come(if you did it correctly, took your time and followed my step by step)
I took my 87 Caprice wagon headliners out to do this. I've seen material and spray glue made just for this at the fabric store.
