What color did you re-do your headliner in ?
 

Just pulled mine in the process of foam removal now. Just curious what color y'all have used . I have silver jeep with dark grey seats/dash. I was thinking black but wondering if that would have anything to with heat in Florida. I like Camo but think it looks odd in large areas. Comments or suggestions welcomed . Also best method for foam removal? Thanks

I used light Grey, to match the factory interior color. My XJ is light Met. Silver, Light Grey interior. So if this is the shade of Grey, you have. They consider (or call) it Light Grey. Attachment 125902

Just did mine last night. It's really a two man job just because the fiberglass backing is so large and getting it in and out of the jeep without warping it or damaging the new cloth would be tough alone.

I used grey I purchased from Joann fabrics. $15 a yard and you'll need three yards. They only have black grey and tan in the stores. Look online and if you have a smartphone you can get a 50% off coupon code which you show to the cashier.

I used the expensive twenty dollar 3M adhesive and it took two bottles for me. Although of you really want to go nuts, use three. Two minimum though.

I think black would make the jeep feel too closed in and claustrophobic (my XJ is black). Grey looks factory. No more sagging headliner makes me happy!!

Edit. Use a scrub brush to get the old foam off. Should come right off easily. Don't worry about getting the glue off.

I glued a pirate flag up there! Problem solved

I did mine in Duck Blind Mossy Oak. Took three yards of it, and I used 4 and half cans of the permitex heavy duty headliner glue. I used a wire brush to remove all the old foam and glue.

I didn't spray mine, I kept the foam on and just redid the fabric. My interior is tan so I just got tan fabric from Joanns or a local fabric store then used headliner adhesive from advance. I tried the 3M spray adhesive from the fabric store, but maybe since it's so hot here it pretty much immediately started sagging again. it only took 1 can of the headliner adhesive to keep it up.

Good deal thanks y'all

:worthless:

Did ours in rhyino lining! Came out awl some everyone likes it plus itll never get messed up are start saging our only worry was the heat down here in south louisiana but actually it stays cool doesn't get hot are anything it actually worked out really good

I used flames from hobby lobby. Mistake I made was using a vertical design with only 42' of width. The XJ is closer to 48' so I had to line it up very carefully. The glue I used sucked, try something else.

I got some super 77 and the material is 52" across. Walmart was by far the cheapest at only $3.98 a yard. I saw they had actual headliner with foam attached at Joann Fabrics. Did you guys just attach the fabric right to the headliner with no foam in between? thanks

I didn't use any foam and I haven't heard of anyone else doing it either. As long as you get good glue it'll be fine without it.

The foam backing prevents the spray on adhesive from seeping thru and looking like crap. Just spend the extra few bucks on the Joann fabric if you want it to look good. If you dig around online you can find a coupon for 50% off which makes it only $7.50 a yard.

Thanks for tips. So I just glued on the front 1/2, i am going to do the back 1/2 tomorrow. I have a 2001, my question is do I have to make relief cuts around the sound bar area? It doesn't look the material will conform to all the different curves at once....

I didn't make cuts around the rear speakers for mine but then again one side is pulled up a little right at the speaker. Not noticeable. Not sure
I would risk cutting it if I were you. Just make sure you leave enough room before you apply the adhesive.

Sorry to bring up an older thread again, but I was wondering if anyone has any idea where to get the headliner board? I bought my xj without a headliner at all, at least its not sagging right? LOL

It is the Laredo and has all the plugs for the overhead console, compass, temp etc and I would love to get all that stuff too. I am going to try to go to a jy this weekend.

Thanks

dude no worries at all I'm really glad you did, and even happier to see someone else use the search fu...

I'm part of a barter group and had a bid today for $250 trade services and $50 cash to have mine redone..

sounds like a lot but you have to keep in mind I paint her trim outside the shop and she does my headliner.. :D

still may have a go at it myself if I have the time, so there is one piece that comes out like cardboard right??

do you install the headliner out of the car onto the board then reinstall??

thanks

yes and, yes

I also did my overhead console when I did the headliner. If i was you, I would pull the sound bar down and redo it to match your headliner.
