YiKEs! $50 / QT!

Got any snappics there Jeff? Does it offer any sound absorption at all?

I like the Suede, but I don't particularly like the new Splash image...

I have three more on the way from Robert. Robert just let me know the other day that his source is re-digitizing the Red Splash to look even better than it does now.........if that is possible

I like the current Red Splash Size, Color and Text Type but Robert is somehow going to improve on what is already perfect

I installed the New Headliner just a bit crooked as I now notice....but trust me...when you look at it from an open door it looks perfectly aligned

The Custom headliners are now available for all members in the Registry Store.

Here is a quick link.

Is the OEM-style 'ZR-1' available LARGE?

I'm just not liking the new style...

That is a good idea. I am sure we can get it done. Let me find out how much it is going to cost.

I like that idea,too. How hard is it to change out a headliner?

[Dynomite]

It was super easy on first one as foam came out perfectly without damage. Then using headliner glue from oreillys. Glued and cut extra all around so could be folded under. Popped headliner with original foam in place. No glue on foam. Fit tight and snug. Will try a couple more today

Just popped two Headlines out today....got it started on rear edge and then slipped hand under hard foam lightly pushing further under Headliner foam. Gradually the foam headliner popped from the edges without any failures. The old Headliner with foam came out perfectly (one was originally not glued). Now simple to install new Headliner on original rigid foam and pop Original Foam with New Headliner back in place tucking New Headliner in under Original Foam as I pop foam in place.

Maybe Too Many Foams and Too Many Pops but you get the idea

Thanks Again,

QUOTE=Paul Workman;206463]Hi Nelson!

I bought the "kit" from Midamerica to re upholster mine. However, I believe that Robert DeMarco has some headliners with the ZR-1 script on them which you might prefer (maybe available too at the Registry Store, come to think of it!).

My foam was in good shape so I didn't have to remove/replace it.

Hint: There seems to be a "window" for contact type glues where timing is "just right" to press the two pieces together. Too early is almost as bad as too late, I find. And, many times, especially when working on larger areas like carpet (or the headliner too, in my case), the window is missed and pressing the surfaces together after that and the result is definitely left wanting. Furthermore, removing the pieces to start over can result in a poor to disastrous result.

The solution is simple enough - recommended by the auto body supply store owner I know: just spray another coat to one of the surfaces (the foam) and w/o waiting for it to get tacky, immediately press the pieces together. Not only with the bond be good, but you might be able to work with the pieces - adjust the fit a little whereas w/o the third coat adjustment is nearly impossible.

(The 3M Weather Stripping Adhesive is one example of a glue that sets up so fast that one can easily miss the window for best results. But, using this hint made all the difference in the world; not only on the headliner, but reapplying the emblems after the car was painted.)

Good luck, buddy!

PS: Far as the headliner coming off during the "Tail of the Dragon" run, it's ALL Robert or GUNNY'S fault. Shoulda known those switchbacks would cause stuff to come loose and they shoulda warned us! LOL!

The replacement material (MidAmerica) was ample enough to leave an inch or so extra around the boarder. So, I was able to push the material under using a pair of thin-bladed putty knives (rounded the corners to prevent tearing the fabric). From beginning to end, it took about an hour and a bit. Came out perfect!
