Does anyone know where I can get a new headliner for my jeep. None of the junkyards have any and my headliner backing is torn.

4.3L XJ

As far as I know, you can't. You can however pull it carefully and replace the material. I did it on an 85 and will be doing it on an 86

How badly is the backing torn? I had a few small rips in mine and duct tape cured it before i recovered it.

I could do a headliner for you, but finding a box to ship it in would be difficult.

how hard is it to pull the headliner? I'm think of covering mine.

the front part of the headliner nearest to the front windsheild is torn in a couple of places. and theres big gashes all in the headliner itself. its pretty bad.

Not hard at all. Remove visors, lights, trim, and a few clips holding it in. A second hand is helpful in holding it.

XJ TESS

It's so easy a girl can do

The only time I needed a extra pair of hands is when pulling it out so it would not break. Just make sure you get some good adhesive glue when recovering!

I did this went to a local fabric shop and they have several colors to choose from. The places that where bad I built up with newspaper and adhesive. Once dry as good as new.

Make sure you use a good spray on adhesive so it will last like factory. I did mine over 2 years ago no bubbles or sags

Cammo....sweet.
Going to fabric store: look at double-fleece. Takes the adhesive well and is very durable.
Just stay away from the dreaded...MONKEY-FUR. Why? Your name and address will be sent to the Anti-Monkey-Fur Bureau and they will show up late at night and slap you silly.

I always use 3M Super 77. Its a little more cost but its well worth it.

I have had good luck with the Permatex brand as well... i betcha it's actually a relabeled 3M product.
