I am looking into recovering the headliner to do the tan to black interior conversion on a project car. I have a donor car, but it doesn’t have a sunroof.
Couple questions:
What type of glue was used?
Did you remove the stock vinyl like material?
What fabric did you use?
I want to use either a “tweed” like material or a suede like material or I may even try black vinyl. I have done some interior work before with 3m super 77 glue and contact cement, it worked pretty well, just not sure how either will work on a headliner.
I wrapped my head liner with white vinyl on my old DA. I just used contact cement and it held up there without a problem for at least 2 years. The car was written off after an accident so I dont know how long it would have lasted but 2 years both winter and summers was good enough for me. I just cleaned the stock vinyl on the head liner and stuck it right to that.
3M makes a great spray on adheasive. I usualy use it for sandpaper disks, but i always thought about using it on the door pannels for the carpet and inserts. Im sure it would work just as well on the headliner.
