Subarule Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I have the perforated leatherette-type material in my headliner. It was pristine ('86 wagon) until a couple of years ago when some #!*&$@!!! broke into the car and scraped holes all over it, leaving black scuff marks along with the gouges. I know where to buy the replacement material but is it possible to peel off the old stuff from the molded headliner and replace with the new or do I have to replace the entire headliner? I will have the work done in a professional shop but at this point I'm trying to get an idea of total cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Let us know what kind of car you're dealing with; you might add it to your signature. It would probably be easiest to get another headliner from someone else or from a junkyard, seeing as how easy it is to find parts cars in the PNW.

Caramanos2000 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Friend of mine did his with the headliner fabric kit sold in major parts stores and some 3M spray glue and it looks fantastic, I even thought of letting him do mine. It is allot of work though to remove all the moldings in order to get it right Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C. Whitney and a yard is 54" wide, which is a generous width. And free shipping over $75.00. I haven't taken measurements of my headliner yet.

Subarule Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 The kit in autozone of fabric is $12 Cannot find it there. Did a search and could not find anything related to headliners. Do you have a direct link to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caramanos2000 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 No links sorry just head down to Autozone or Pep boys and look in the carpet section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarule Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 No links sorry just head down to Autozone or Pep boys and look in the carpet section The closest of either of those are 50 miles away from me. Not worth a 100-mile round trip drive. I like to order off the internet. The place I'd order from will send me fabric samples first, so I can see what I'd be ordering.
