I am so frustrated with my headliner. My headliner was in bad shape to start but when I went to remove it the whole thing fell apart. I called around and went to junkyards but no one has a headliner. GRRRRR. Can anyone help me find one.

If you are refering to the fiberglass part which I refer to as the "shell" I would think you need to keep searching the J/Ys because it is too bulky to ship if you find one on the interweb. Don't think I have ever heard of one being made from scratch either. Sry!!

JeepersCreepers

Yes the shell is what fell apart. Im not looking to make one from sratch just buying another one.

BlueXJ

JC I think they should work from a different year Jeep so don't let you year model restrict your search.

JeepersCreepers

Oh ya im looking for any year pretty much. I know most XJ headliners are the same. Ive been researching trying to find one but nothing.

BlueXJ

You may have to expand your search to Miami and/or Jacksonville.

JeepersCreepers

Ya. I will have to call around.

JeepersCreepers

i have the same prob..my last jeep i tried to recover the headliner myself..but now my 2000 cherokee is starting to fall!! but this time i will pay someone to recover it!!

jekyllrider

whats it look like under the headliner? can the bare metal just be painted and not look to horrible with sharp edges and such? it just seems like so much work for such a cosmetic thing I almost just want to rip it out.

Agree--why not have fun with it. I thought about vinyl flooring glued up there with some construction adhesive... Brick design? Hardwood design? etc

I wonder though if the thick fiber-based material (stock) has some insulating advantage??

JeepersCreepers

well i bought vinyl fabric for it and plan on using that. I still want to do that.

If you want to play with fiberglass you could make a new shell for the headliner.. You can take your old one even if cracked in half and tape it then use fiberglass to fix it then remove the tape and should be able to cover it fine and reinstall. Fiberglass isn't as scary as it seems just wear thick rubber gloves, mask and plenty of ventilation and you are all good.
