What kind of fabric did you guys use to replace your headliner? Can I just go to Jo-Ann fabrics and get any fabric I like or does it have to be a special kind?

 

It should be foam-backed. Jo Ann's usually only has grey and black foam-backed fabric here. You can order camo etc... fabrics also.

 

I bought real headliner material for both of mine. I bought it at a fabric dealer who sells to industries. Anything with 1/4" foam backing should work.

 

got my mossy oak camo at joann's

 

You could try calling around to you local prison. I got my headliner and both visors done for less than $50 (including materials) by the inmates, just had to remove the headliner and drop it off.

 

It doesn't really have to be foam-backed. I did it with a thin suede fabric. But it was really hard that I'm sure my life is shortened for a couple of years . But it was worth it. However make sure the fabric has a solid backside that the glue won't penetrate, foam is best but not necessary.

You can see the thickness of the suede I used:


And the result:

 

METALLICA!!!
