Damn Headlining

[Jondarren]

Nice work. After seeing your job and bboyskidz's job, i actually looked up and took notice of the headliner in my SEAT........and DAAMMMNNNN!

I need to do this to mine really soon as it's a total mess. How thick was the fabric you used for yours?

Cheers

I just used polar fleece, when I picked it up to put over the headliner board I thought it was a little thin, but it went on and came up great. For reference the original is very thin anyway.

The only thing I could suggest if your worried about it being too thin would be to give the headliner board a quick coat of paint in a similar/same colour as the material to ensure it doesn't show through a different colour. ie if your using black put on a coat of black. I would suggest a die, something that will stain the board rather than leave a cost of something else to peel off.

I was really suprised at how eazy the whole process has been (so far). Look forward to finishing it off tomorrow.

Done and done, about an hour this morning and it's all back in. Getting it back in is a little harder than getting it out, not too hard, by tedious.

Two words: FREAKING AWSOME

I still can't believe how easy the whole thing was and how great the finished product looks. Seriously, if I can do this, anyone can. You no longer have any excuse not to fix your headliner. Do it now.

Pics to follow.

Previous owner of my car was a smoker, so she realy turned the healinder in pure crap. I'd like to see how this turns out. I'd do it in black though... The rest of the car is cleaned properly but as you said before mr hawk, its incrediably thin and too small to clean.

As promised, the finished product, IMHO it looks like a better match than the OEM part!







The only downside (or something I didn't notice before) one of the clips in this side peice doesn't have the clip bits on it anymore, so it doesn't *quite* clip into place properly. It doesn't rattle so it will do until I can be arsed finding a replacement.

That's a really clean job Aaron, thumbs up. Where did you buy the spray adhesive from? And did you end up using two cans of it?

Cans were $22 each from AutoBarn, been spending lots of little bits of money there lately. It's nice when they know you when you walk in
I ended up using almost the lot, I have maybe 10% left in one can. I may have gotten away with less, but I wouldn't have thought too much. Besides, for the sake of $22 I would rather make sure it's right rather than have to do it all again.

Mine isn't suede, although I thought about it, it's actually Polar Fleece. Your more than welcome to come around and have a look see in person if your interested.

Awesome job Aaron well done indeed! I, unfortunately, do have an excuse for not doing it, it's called a sunroof, would make the job pretty tricky I reckon

[The_Hawk]

Sunroof... now there is an idea I keep toying with.. Sadly I think it would be too expensive to do it right. Either way it's a long way down the list of mods.
