How do I remove the old cloth covering my headliner??


Recommended Posts

My headline is down. It still has the stock cloth on it. How do I safely get the cloth off so I can wrap it in vinyl?

Either slowly start peeling it off and dealing with the mess underneath…..or…..if there isn't any damaged or loose areas you can wrap right over the existing covering.

Static drops are my bag.

Use a steamer, it will come off easily.

It's not damaged, I had thought about just wrapping of the existing.

A steamer is a good idea.

Does anyone ever add a hardner or something to reinforce the strengh of the headliner before it goes back up.

I had an old Caddy once and I took some basic AutoZone 3M fiberglass resin and mixed up about a quart of it and laid a little down on the backside of the board to give it a little bit more strength.

The cloth that's already on your headliner would soak up resin nicely. If you don't need to flex it to get it back in that would work. Otherwise glassing and wrapping in place doesn't sound like a ton of fun.

Seats are out of the truck. no need to flex it. Since I have options, I will think about it for a few days.

thanks for the info
