How'd you get it to stick up there? Is that the stock foam type stuff under the fabric? Reason i'm asking is mine is starting to fall down and the 3M glue spray looks like crap. Definitely want new fabric.

thanks for the compliments. i just cleaned the old foam off. it was a ***** until i got creative. i used a broom to "sweep" it off. it came off fairly easy. i used 3m adhesive sprayed on the board, not the cloth. ive done a lot of headliners so it wasnt hard at all. im a marine so my jeep is gonna be painted desert tan with tan interior.

putting the sunvisors is a pain in the ***, and make sure you cut the openings for stuff like the visors and grab handles

I took my headliner out this past weekend to mount some new roofrack rails, but mine is just a bunch of foam padding with fabric over it. Are they all like that or just my 89? If so what years had a the better headliner?
