Well, I have been restoring my 90 Laredo, and my build is titled 90 Rebirth. Anyway, I had put a sheet of paneling over sagging headliner, and i worked well, however, after recovering overhead console and visors, and then fighting with said visors, we decided we have come this far, Lets fix headliner. I know the headliner board is not available, and I really dont have a junkyard close to me, so Im going to try and remove headliner board,and firm it up. I know the board is in bad shape up front where visors mount, the rest, Not sure. So I plan to remove board, try and "fix" it, and then recover. MY question is, I understand it fiberglass, has anyone had good luck not not only firming up, but repairing small missing pieces. Like around visors ans such? I have heard epoxy, Resin, just wanting to get a game plan. Thanks

As far as I know the headliner is only stuck to the foam under it and the problem is the foam disintegrates leaving nothing to stick the cloth to. Let us know what you figure out, mine is sagging.

Recovering is easy, but my headliner board is in bad shape. I need to find a way to firm it up, and fix holes around sun visors and console that are gone.

i fiberglassed my headliner board to stiffen up some spots. Mine is pretty customer from having an aftermarket sunroof. It worked okay. I think it would be better for your situation from what you describe.

You might could go on CL & find one.

Idk about reinforcing it but I will say this when you put that cloth on the glue (go boarder line crazy with the adhesive) BE CAREFUL to not have to pull it off the glue. If the fabric touches it self after that you need to remove it all and start over. Not that I would know or anything lol. Learn from my mistake, use two people.

I had the headliner totally fall down in front of me during driving...what a pain in the ***. I think my fix was great...will post pictures in a day or so...I took the entire thing out and removed all the cloth. removed the remaining glue and foam with some solvent. My board itself was in mostly good shape so I put 5 or 6 coats of Rustoleum Deck and Concrete Restore paint on it. It looks Fantastic and it was easy. I used grey because that was the original but they can mix it to any color you want. If it holds up to people walking on it , it will certainly last on your roof and its fairly flexible

I didn't have to repair my base liner but I assume fiberglass would work..this is how the deck restore came out
