I did my headliner about a year ago: spray-glued replacement fabric to the original cardboard form. The glue didn't last and it is drooping again. Suppose my cardboard form is wearing out, what then? A wrecking yard version will be just as worn out. I am intrigued by the rhino-liner idea. Is it seriously practical? What's the result in terms of noise and temperature insulation? I'd love to see pictures. I want to do something custom that I won't have to do over again. Thanks.

 

what spray glue did you use?

 

a friend of mine had a 96 dakota that he just sold that he rhino lined the entire interior except the seats...it was really easy to clean and you dont have to worry about water getting in, it did get kinda noisy and stuff always rolled around on the floor

 

I don't remember but it was sent by the people who sold me the new headliner material, which I think was teamcherokee.com, so it shoulda worked. Anyway, other than the noise and heat/cold I'm interested in a durable spray-on like rhino. I wonder if some kind of diamond-plate pattern rubber coating could be done ... ?

 

3M headliner spray, dont be shy with it.

 

mine is pretty bad. ill rip it out before i ever use those ugly cork screw things! i want it to look right not half azz!
theres tons of xj's at the junk yard near me so ill just buy a used liner for $10 - 20 bucks! why go thru all the trouble??swap it out!

 

i want to replace the headliner in my 92 xj laredo i figured out how to remove the overhead console at a near by junk yard but i can't figure out how to remove the cargo light in the rear without breaking it. I dont have a speaker bar just the cargo light. any advise? thanks

 

OK ....so i figured out the cargo light it was 2 screws wow guess i should have just looked a little closer. found a sound bar from another Cherokee tore off the old fabric scraped off the foam, reupholstered it and put it in. came out good but there are a few (3)finger indents. it was easy enough so i decided i would try my headliner next. i got an extra headliner in case i f%$%% up the first one. when i took the fabric off, i accidentally pulled the foam and the plastic from the backboard. i used fiberglass resin to try and strengthen the board and give it a hard surface to glue the new headliner material too. this was working really well until i mixed some of the resin too hot and it got all clumpy. tried to get rid of the clumps but it was a mess. I will have to wait till tomorrow to see what i can do about the clumps. hoping i can sand them. don't really want to start over.

 

Love that headliner Jake. Now if i can figure out how to get the overhead consoles out...

 

i like this thread, i might just have to save it for when i finally decide to do mine

 

thanks. yeah it took a little time. as far as the overhead consule just start taking stuff apart haha. if i remember right there are some screws/bolts inside the compartments. dont quote me for sure though but take a look.

 

Dude I love that pattern! Where did you get that I would like to get something like that in a Grey or white. As for spray adhesive 3M super 90 or hi-temp DAP works great

 

What type of foam are you guys using to replace the OEM crap?

 

I also like these two

 

i fiber glassed and rhino lined mine i even made pockets to hold a cb radio and a enclosure to hold 6x9 speakers if you want more info on how i did it email me eon_blue_apocalypse08@yahoo.com
