good spray adhesive (dont cheap out on this item)
fabric of choice remove headliner slowly work your way across with a credit card or similar item to smooth the fabric i do this in sections at a time i like to leave a little overhang and fold it over and glue to top for more support. re install. very easy just take your time ill post a picture of mine in suede later when im at home |
I did the headliner in my old civic in an automotive type suede. It looked awesome. Didn't take to long to do. The only problem is doing the visors, if you know someone who can sew it would look great. I think I still have enough material left to do another one. I have light grey color. I am not sure if I still have pics of it though, I'll look. Over all it was pretty easy and realtively cheap to do. Just a little time.

What is a good glue to use? I used some Loctite spray adhesive and my headliner fell down in the back
this is what i used and the heat made the glue soft so i need to know what is better |
|
thats mine thanks jason, gma sewed those visors
|
i wanna do this too! hahaha
|
use 3m 90 adhesive spray...holds up for ages....
who did those visors?I need mine done!!!! |
Where can you buy suede for automotive ?
|
Just go to joans fabric store, i did mine in black velvet.
|
x2, how did you guys do the visors? Did you guys sew them up?
|
nice man, looks fresh! now pop off that plastic rear view mirror cover, and paint it a flat/matte/satin black to match! ;)
|
ya i should do that too lazy though lol
|
i just did mine with black suede, it was tiny robots before... i'm doing the sun visors now, trace them inside out, pin them, sew them, then leave one side open, hand stich that one and voila, you have sun visors... pretty simple if you know how to sew.

Suede headliner = pure sex..... I must do this to my hatch.
|
Its really easy. I used 3m 90 spray. but let it cure a day or two to hold good or keep it in the shade. my friend didnt do that and his is sagging bad.
|
x2 i used 2 cans, but that was for my xj, but they're about $10/can
x2 the fabric is pretty cheap, but overall it's pretty simple. just make sure you let the adhesive dry once you get the fabric on or else it won't hold obviously. i think i let mine set for about 3 hours or so (just cuz i was tight on time) in the garage. it was about 6 months ago and i have yet to see it sag. gl hope this helps |
sorry to ask but would 3m 90 adhesive work for those plastic rear quarter trimming if planning to go with some suede? sorry again if i'm asking in ur thread bro.
|
Yes it will. I covered my a pillars with suede and it worked.
|
its a huge Areosol spray can, kinda resembles grandma's hairspray can she would use back in the 50's.
lol its great stuff, used it to glue some tweed on my panels for my camaro. the dogs got a hold of one of my wrapped parts., its all chewed to hell. BUT! the tweed is still glued on! So 3M Fabric Adhesive is Rottweiller Approved! |
kool. u guys are great man. thx
|
is the 3m spray like a spray paint can or is it something you gotta use a gun for?
|
i have to redo mine, make sure what ever fabric you get that it isnt too heavy or it will sag. other than that it just takes a lil time and patience. hardest part is taking if off your car.
|
its just like a spray paint can
|
I used Wilsonart industrial spray adhesive with a compressor and gun........Ive tried many different adhesives in a spray can, and havent had good luck with the results. IMO:grin:
|
good thread thanks for the info im gonna test on my dodge then perfect it on the hatch
|
ha ha nice:goodjob::bananalama::thumbup::grin:
|
Don't skimp on the adhesive for sure...
It works good on the plactic on the pillers too I did all mine I don't really have a good pic of it... If anyone does they can post it... I did my sunroof as well but that's a paaaain in the ass for sure |
