My local motor trimmer tells me that one way to make your new headlining last is to make sure the ends are rolled over the lip of the board, front and back. Both Ford and Holden do theirs cheaply by just cutting it off at both ends. The heat and sun from your windscreen then make the foam deteriorate early. That's why, when the sag begins, it's often from near the windscreen. Manufacturers who are more mindful of this will both roll the lining over the front and back lips, as well as install a trim piece to lock it in place and protect the foam. Commodores had it done on the back, but not the front.
@MotoringBoxTV4 жыл бұрын
Yup it's a good idea. Mine were rolled over slightly at the ends, and I also put staples around the perimeter just in case.

Here's a shortcut upholsters look at me funny for doing all the time; those falcon and commodore hoodlining boards are made of fibreglass and they can get wet, so I just hose the old foam off them and wait for them to dry haha so much easier. I'd done so many for a VT/VX/VYI that I got a spare hoodlining board from the wreckers as an exchange board so I always had a hosed and dry one ready to go if I'm in a hurry that day. Otherwise, if the board is cardboard and can't be wet, or I don't have time to let it dry and I have to go old school, the sweeping it through the interior light hole into the wheelie bin trick is exactly what I do haha, although you should use a stiff plastic bristled brush, so much easier. Good job for a first time though, falcon ones are much harder to stick down because they're so dishy compared to a commodore, but you got very few crinkles in the fabric by the look of it. Also the front and back against the windscreens, you should roll the fabric around and double glue it so it doesnt start lifting because there's nothing there to hold the fabric down once it's all back together

I have done this with 2 x AU wagons, which is a lot of real estate to deal with. I tried to get replacements from wreckers, but all the head liners have the same issue, due to the foam backing crystallising (maybe time to stop using foam backed headliner car manufacturers). The main issue is that although you may be able to get most of the old foam off the shell, the old contact adhesive remains, and contact adhesive hates sticking to old contact adhesive. 3M 74 is a foam adhesive spray that is pretty good, but whatever you use, unless you get a solvent and remove the old glue, the bond won't be great. Gap in the market for non foam backed headliner !!!!

A wire brush makes short work of that foam. I typically use a brass brush as the bristles are not too stiff, not too soft.

Eco or water-based contact glues are usually shit, for anything. Sometimes you have to do two coats if a surface is porous, the first coat is basically a sealer.

Yup, seems so. Luckily my headliner is still holding up well.

I have a 98 Au S/W and the head lining has sagged I will attempt redoing the head liner at least you can get the headliner in through the back hatch

Great job!. I am doing my headliner soon. Will be using Permatex (Body Shop Heavy Duty Headliner & Carpet Adhesive form Autobarn) for the glue. Its a spray can and super sticky from what I have seen in Headliners restoration videos on youtube.

Sounds like a good product.

Did my headliner during the weekend. The glue is super sticky, its so sticky the only challenge is that if you make a mistake its going to be hard to fix! I did make a few mistakes. But overall the roof looks million times better than what it was before.

Put it in or make a big plastic bag and use your vacuum cleaner to suck air out and it will apply even pressure to hold surfaces together. Saw them do this on B is for build making carbon fibre panels

As soon as you said water based glue I thought you might have problems I apply membrane roofing and am yet to find a good water based glue

No idea who would distribute it in AU, but there are spray glues made for headliners. 3M and permatex are a few examples here in the US. Going to tackle the headliner in my G8 (really a VE commodore) this week, pulling all the trim and getting it out is the worst part.

Good video, although slow and some what pricey i would use medium thick CA , you would probably need to do bit by bit but it will NEVER come off, all in all though would probably cost $15 or so of CA.
