Default WLS Headliner Kit

I am def. going to replace the headliner in my '98 Jeep cherokee It has fallen down completely. I found a website that people on here have used called WLS headliners. My question is is the materials and glue that comes with the kit enough to complete the project? Please reply ASAP.

After redoing a few in my Honda's, it's a pain in the ***. I used 3M Super 90 Adhesive and even after a few months, it started to sag. I don't know about any where use but post up the link here, because mine is started to sag and it's really annoying.

X2. do what he said. any body shop or fabric shop will do it for $35-$65 and then just put it back in yourself. it is not hard and you will get good work done with little effort!

3M Super 90 is the wrong glue. Use 76 headliner glue...it says "headliners" right on the can. Better yet, use Permatex Headliner glue...it says headliner on the can...and it is 3M glue in a Permatex can that costs $6 less.

If you get fabric from WLS, ask them to ship it ROLLED, not folded. It is a major PITA to steam the fold lines out. If they wont do it, buy the fabric from an ordinary fabric store - they all have headliner fabric. Foam rubber backing on cloth is all it is. Some forum member did one in a black and white skull and crossbones fabric that was very cool.
