Headliner restoration

[twack]

My headliner was trash and im going for an all black interior so I decided to redo my headliner and my visors. After some persuasion I decided to repair my trashed headliner. I made patches out of dense cardboard held on by superglue, might be ugly but efficient.

Looks pretty damn good.

Looks great. What do you mean when you said you made "patches" out of cardboard? Are the visors now completely cardboard? I need to do this to my car. I tried it once in the past with my 2G, but I failed horribly.

[twack]

well the head liner was snapped in many places, so i brought the two broken ends together and then super glued a piece of cardboard like a bandaid to hold the two sides together, then a thinner piece on the bottom side, turned out great but used 5 tubes of superglue on the cardboard. ya i pulled out the stock backing in the visors and put cardboard in there but there is still a strong plastic frame inside that.

Cool. Where'd you get the fabric, and what'd it run you?

I did the same think to my car and I remember using a napa product and it sucked, make sure you use 3M. Much better quality!

I found my fabric at Jo Anns fabric. Bunch of ladies looked at me weird when I said it was for my car but it looks hell nice!!!

I used the headliner material from Jo-Anne fabrics (They have Black, Tan, and Grey). It cost me $20 for an oversize piece for the headliner. I bought Loctite Heavy Duty adhesive spray, rang up at $15 a can.

What ever happened to the headliner guy in the Twin Cities that was always recommended on here and various other Twin Cities car sites? Was his name Jeff?

Nice, i need to do this also, then my interior will be completely black.

Good job.
