Tweed head liner

here is mine, in micro fiber, and a warning with gluing the new material to the original headliner, the heat inside a cab will make spray adhesives let go, trust me I`ve had to do this a few times the trick is using the right glue, so it does not fall and look ghetto fabulous.
Sorry to jack the thread . look at my post, stereo interior micro fiber etc.

so what glue/adhesive did you use mazdamandan that finally held it good and didn't loosen up??

right now I'm using (testing) GEL contact cement, this method takes hours and hours because you can only do so many inches at a time, with contact glues you have to coat both pieces and let them cure to the right consistency and then mate the 2 pieces together,I don't reccomend it, sew the loops you need to accomodate the metal rods. Also FYI you need to remove the back window to do this properly. that was a pain!!! Next time I will fab a sheetmetal piece and weld it to the cab to glue to at the back instead of relying on the window to pinch it in the window channel.

Let me know if I can help, or if ya have any Qs

oh yeah 3M 77 sux

so do all types of the loctite spray i've tried(3), in the heat it all lets go

I took and sewed my new fabric to the old headliner and just used the factory loops to put it back in.

you use contact adhesive for gluing headliners. been doing this for over 15 years and have never had one let go on glue!

oh yeah, what type?
I have been customising interiors scince 97. I just talked to my stores (furniture sales) upholstery repair guy w 30+ years of experience in automotive RV etc. and he said its a special glue used for headliners, I could not remember the name , it was a number, its able to resist the heat and not separate, I've used 3 types of contact, Gel worked the best so far, ( LePage pink stripe can) But it got up to 30C in the cab and it started to let go , now it looks like crap.
So, next step , get an upholstery sewing machine or get it done by somebody with one.

however, the same stuff I have used on the dash and its mint! Still!

lol,i know this topic is a month old,but I've been wanting to redo my headliner too.

Best way I've thought is just making a new one the same way the old one is made,by sewing the loops right in it for the rods to go through. I didn't think adhesives would be a good idea on a flexible headliner like ours. I was also thinking if you do make a new headliner and go as far as sewing in the loops,you could cut off the sides of the old headliner where the push pins get installed into the roof and sew or staple that into the sides of your new headliner.

These are all ideas I'm playing around with for doing mine,which will be suede.
