Re: [DML] Headliner Recovery

[Steve Stankiewicz <protodelorean@xxxx>]

Kenneth, odds are the headliner material has seen
better days too. Rather than replacing only the foam,
I'd recommend going to your local fabric shop. (Here
in Maryland we have two that I know of: Minnesota
Fabrics, and Jo Ann's Fabrics) They will usually have
the actual headliner material which will be the same
(or very very similar) grey fabric with the foam
already applied. As for the spray adhesive, I'd
recommend "3M General Trim Adhesive" which can be
found at auto parts stores like Pep Boys. I've used
other brands of spray adhesive and 3M just seems to be
better. One last tip. Once both surfaces, the new
material and the headliner board and sprayed, any
contact between the two is pretty much permanent. So
you may want to have an extra set of hands there to
keep any dangling edges from making contact before
you're ready and in position. Hope that helps. Feel
free to email me privately if you have any other
questions.
