If you have a saggy, loose, or falling headliner in your car or truck, chances are its from the foam layer deteriorating. This usually means just gluing it back in place either won't work, or will be awfully ugly! In this video, Andy shows you how to remove your existing headliner fabric and gross foam, and how easy it is to install a new foam backed headliner!

What glue are you using ?
@@freedom-volvo-usa what glue are using
It'd be nice your link actually took us to the materials used. But the site doesn't have anything close
Very time consuming job, but glad for the demonstration. I'm going to be needing this soon. Now that I see how it's done, I have a bit more respect for those who do this professionally.
I was thinking the exact same thing. People who do this definitely get my full respect.
Note: Things look easier than they really are on UA-cam projects.
What spray adhesive did he use??
Why cant all tutorials be like this,straight to the point and informative. 10/10
As a 47 year trimmer I like how you guys pick the easy ones for these vids. You and the other guy both picked hard styrofoam headliners to recover. I have yet to see a DIYer pick a later GM with the soft fiberboard headliner. Those are far trickier to clean and keep smooth. You.cannot use a wire brush to remove the old foam, you have to use a mild scrubber or even just a rag on your hand. Also it's important to use a good glue, contact adheaive is best, or heat will make your new liner drop.
This was an excellent explanation by an excellent teacher
Congratulations to you bro, im gonna do this definitely, but what is the spray name and where to buy the material for the new headliner?
Very helpful. I havent seen anyone use the small clamps before. Also if I have this correct you only glued about 4" at a time as you proceeded to cover the new material to the headboard.
High there ,thanks for the teachings each and every one of you guys appreciate it .
Where can I buy the glue and the fabric with foam?
👍🏽Great video. I wish I had a job at 1A Auto! 😔 The videos makes it look like you guys are always having fun at work. LOL!
I really wish you showed more detail around the cut out areas especially overhead console area where the difference in height pulls and causes creases . I started mine and I walked the material to the side and had to pull it up and start over. I bought 24 little clamps and 10 large clamps using 4 large clamps to hold material straight preventing it walking off to on side.
Did one on a 1991 Mustang 17 years ago. I used 3M headliner glue. Still on there. I used a straight blade to scrape the foam and later a scotch rite pad to remove the remaining foam. That hard plastic brush looks like way to go. Doing a 2000 f150 tomorrow. Glad I ran into your video. Thanks for sharing!!!
I have to do my 2008 Mazda 6 which I plan on doing possibly next weekend or two weeks after next weekend when I have time off from work. Honestly its not something I am looking forward to but it has to be done so I just have to order the material and glue. I know how to remove it and what door to take it out from but having to wait 24 hrs before you put it back in is something I was not aware of so its just another thing to add to my procrastination. Even when I shave my head that head liner says my razor sucks because it still sticks to my head. Yea I am tall but its just a curse that the headliner amplifies.
I would like to know what type and brand of glue that you used.
Looks like the spray adhesive he is using is Permatex headliner adhesive for everyone asking.
Other people recommended that I use a pressure hose to remove the glue, because if I did it with pots I would have marks and I don't know what to do because I need to completely fix my heatliner but I have low resources so someone can do it for me or buy a pressure gun, they are very expensive
The sun visor areas you did are coming loose already! Look in the corners. If you don't get all the inside corners, the headliner will start sagging again.
He talks about it, it's a hole where the sunviser gets attached.
Any one know what kind of spray glue this is I don't see it in the info
You simplified it, and I'm way more confident moving forward. Thanks😜🤘
Great demonstration, really appreciate it! Thanks!
Love this guy. Really puts it towards the average person understand
Where can you buy the new headliner material from ? Also the adhesive ? What brand adhesive are you using in this video ?

@@1AAuto the video should really talk about the adhesive spray
I ended up buying a new headliner all together. and installed it. 6 months later the new fabric is sagging. any idea what's causing this? so frustrating.
Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏Grace and peace be unto this place. God bless you. 🕯️Thank you. Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 🤍
*watched video* ......yup imma just pay the professionals
So glad I found this video. Your wire brush technique was just what I needed to see. Gonna reinforce my decomposing 30 year old headliner with starch paper and fiberglass before putting new fabric on. Thank you for your help!

Bro ,you look like Mr.Inbetween😂,thanks for the video
Great.
I have a Mk 4 vauxhall (Opel) Astra that is 20 years old. It's a great car and one of the few this old that you still commonly see on the road here in the UK.
There is a bunch that needs doing to keep it in good condition, but I think this little job is within my ability range after your helpful video.
Some funny gaffes with your cameraman made it enjoyable to watch. Thanks for the instruction!
I definitely found this helpful, thanks. Definitely need a house with a garage before I do this, not something I can do with the apartment life. Saved this video for future use.
You can remove a headliner in the parking lot and then bring it inside to the arts and crafts portion.
What kind of glue are you using, or what type of spray glue can I use?.
Permatex headliner adhesive
Excellent demonstration guys, I'll Subscribe for some inspiration 🙂 That headliner fabric you were using looks like the style that gives you a once only attempt at laying it down otherwise lifting back up can cause foam layer to separate.
Have you posted links to your UA-cam gear? As I got a quick question for you, With your audio, you do guys use a Tascam lapel mic and sink up the track to the video clip in post production? or does the audio clip go directly onto the video clip while filming via Bluetooth?
I've watched a few videos with how to remove and clean the old sponge off the headliner. What do you suggest for the removal of the old glue?
Thanks
what glue did you use in the video or what glue would you recommend using?
+@shayla4719 You can use any kind of spray adhesive.
Thanks for sharing what type of spray to use 😵💫
I remember going down the road with the windows rolled down in my Olds Delta 88 and the liner finally gave out and it shot old dried up glue, dust and what I can only describe as salt with powdered lime juice into my and the girl I liked at the times eyes. Lol! We were both blinded so we swerved and choked. Good god that stuff burned. She had dark black hair but it was dirty blonde for 2 days. Ahhhh, good times.
Which adhesive spray is that?
How do I search for this headliner fabric on your website? I typed headliner fabric and got nada. How about a link that brings us right to where this fabric is because it's universal so trying it vehicle-specific probably won't work either.
I needed this thank you!
Just bought a 99 and yeah saggy is not for me thanks for the video
Thanks
Could you just make a fiber glass copy of the liner. Then put that up instead. Because the foam is going to deteriorate again anyway. You could even put insulation on the top.
Sorry my friend, but that's not how you do it.
I'll list a few comments below to enhance the finished article, and avoid some problems, such as future sagging and fingermarks and more.
1/ Do not use spray glue. Use contact adhesive and a spraygun and a compressor if you can. Problem is not the lack of compressor and a spraygun, but the glue itself. Sure, spray glue will stick, but for a shorter period. You'll have to redo it. Heat does it's thing over time. And make sure you don't do it in neither very cold nor very hot temperature. And wash your hands 3 times first, before starting any handling of the material to glue on.
2/ Do not cut to edges. Neither the outer edge nor the holes.
3/ Always turn the headliner around so you see the topside (roof side) of it, before trimming anything. This way you can see where to cut and where not to cut.
4/ Trim a 45 degree angle on outer corners. Always leave a bit to fold around edges.
5/ Trim with small cuts near edge on concave lines. Leave a little bit left to fold around edges. Usually an inch or so.
6/ Always leave a bit of material to fold around edges.
7/ When you spray glue, do not spray vertically or near vertically. Flatten the spraying more like horizontal, so the glue flies and land softly. This way it does not wet through.
8/ Do not press with fingers. This compresses the material and the wet glue catches that and you will leave finger marks.
9/ Always use a flat hand and go gentle. Do press a little bit and all over, but make sure you use a flat hand.
10/ Always leave the headliner finished for minimum 24 hours to make sure the glue is dry. If you go install it before, you can very easily make fingermarks as mentioned above.
11/ Spray on both parts. so both the head liner material and the roof hard foam.
12/ Don't let it set before you lay it on. This way, you have a chance to slowly and easily correct any laying down errors you may make. Just lift off and relay that area.
13/ Never stretch any new material anywhere, for example around corners and edges. It makes waves and looks terrible.
14/ Take a photo of the cars headliner before you take it down. And also on the topside to see where cables and hoses may go. Often they are glued in place.
15/ Never ever use spray glue to repair a sagging head liner. It won't help as the foam will just let go directly above the glued area and it sags again.
16/ Never use stables. It looks terrible and you may hit cables and hoses. Also, modern cars often use canbus wiring and you don't want to damage those. Take it down and do it properly.
17/ Use proper head liner material, as say alcantara with no backing foam or another material can look really bad as there is no leverage from the foam and the glue may wet through. If you do, make a small experiment first on something else.
18/ A rood can be ever so slightly bent over the whole surface, not just an edge, as it will break and you will have to repair that.
19/ Folding all edges will prevent a lot the future sagging, by not allowing any air or other weather depending happenings to slip air and moisture in between the layers of the headliner, so that the foam rottens quicker. Over time though, as in many years, it will happen, but it can be greatly prevented with folding.
20/ Make sure you make contact between the new material with glue, and the hard foam section with glue, so that no area is untouched. Real auto headliner material is multi-way stretchable, so you can adjust and shape it as you glue it on.
21/ Do one half first, say the back or the front. Usually the back is easier with less holes, so you learn as you go and can avoid making mistakes making it look ugly, at the front. S first he rear end half, and then the front end half.
Kind regards.
I have thin foam for car upholstery at work. But I want black head liner though. Is it okay if I install the thin foam first then overlap it with this thin material I found that I like? Or is the foam really necessary because I was thinking of just not using foam and just using the thin material it has like a soft layer in the back
So I have a four runner and the liner doesn't have foam under it. It's adhered directly to the substrate. I can't remove it. Can I glue another liner on top of the existing liner? It's not loose anywhere just dirty with smoke and stains from the sunroof leak.
Literally started this project today. Lol
This costs $5K to have anyone else do, huh?
I just recently fixed mines....thumb tacks 😁. But love the video 😏👌🏾
Was a great video until I found the link is to their Site. Not the Materials used.
Unless you're doing a full restore of a classic car that's actually worth some money, this is straight up just not worth it. IMO, cut a bunch of tiny slits, get a glue that comes in aerosol form with a straw applicator and dries clear specifically for fabric and foam, pull the headliner down and put the straw through the slit, spray around the area, hold a piece of wax paper or similar non-stick material to hold the headliner up until it's tacky, and repeat until the headliner stays up. Might not look as good, might have some color variation, but the headliner won't be on your head and it won't take disassembling 90% of your car's interior. This is just way too big of a job for an old high mileage beater to be worth it.
Which one. Can you show me a link or the spray brand
Shoot I’m about to do it and im only 16 and my car is just as old as me
the first car that came to mind was an e46 for sagging headliner i was not disappointed
+Braintwistah Thanks for the feedback!
where do you buy the liner that matches your interior?
Awesome
Looking for a link to these products
Awesome! You did that so well, sir! For my 1964 Oldsmobile I need to do the headliner but an older car has no foam, right? I'm not sure how I will replace the torn fabric but this video gives me very good ideas of how to start. Thank you, sir!
_"Once you figure how to take ONE side off, it's the same procedure on the OTHER side"_
Copy that, but it's figuring out how to get the *FIRST* side off. You know what you're doing, but this is NOOOOOOOOOOOO project for s/one who wants to "try" it, or the self-made "Do-It Yourselfer".
Why is there foam to start with please?
Nice thing about 96-02 4Runners.....the headliner doesnt have glued on fabric, therefore it never ever sags 😁😁
I worked on a line building cars (SUV) …. Headliners went in through the front windshield ….. I don’t think they would go through the pillars without breaking them ….. taking window out 🥴
Naw I'd rather pay someone else to do it 🥴
What glue spay you recommend to use?
Does anyone know whay kind of adhesive that is?
My headliner if that’s what it’s called feels like it’s detached not the cloth but the whole part
Thanks for a video..
Its probably better to replace the whole panel
Besides being my go to for parts your DIY and how to install videos are the best!
Can you use carbon fiber vinyl instead of fabric
Of course. But make sure you test your adhesive to a waste piece of the material, glue a piece to a block of wood and see if it looks ok the next day, no melting? ; )
You might need "3M Hi-Strength 90 Spray Adhesive" or some type of contact glue for vinyl\wood listed.
What is the name of the glue
Permatex headliner adhesive
Thanks for the video. The finished product did not look that good at 6:02. I can only imagine how its going to look when I attempt to do this project.
I'm not patient enough to do this. 😅 But thanks for the video.
Sooo what spray do I use to make it stick ? Last one I used stopped working after a week and made it sag
My 1985 Toyota Supra’s light gray color headliner made of foam which is better for weather/noise insulation and it never sags even like fabrics. Why can’t all cars have foam headliners. It looks better, feels better and lasts longer.
As usual, fabric is probably a lot more inexpensive. It also quiets the car more than the foam I bet.
I'm here because I just wanted to replace mine with a nice pattern of something I like.
Just did this job. The heat in the car made it drop next day. Now I'm doing it over
Where did you buy your headliner roll
Great video now, I'm up for the challenge. 👍
Imma try it on my suburban with the old foam still on. I really cant be bothered to remove the dash
What type of glue?
You didn't explain what you sprayed, is it glue? Cement?
Awesome! Brother!!!! I think I can handle this thanks to you ,,, Much appreciated my friend,,, 😎✌✝💕
Nice video. Need to do this to our 2004 GMC Yukon soon.
Where did you buy the material for the replacement?
Always use real headliner material. The fake stuff is junk and lasts a few seasons.
Amazon
What is the adhesive you used?
Great job...now I know how to install a new headliner in my 98 Corolla. Thank you.
Good job. When you over lap the headliner on the sides couldn't you use staples on the back side to make it so it doesn't ever peel away? Like how people staple the back side of dirt bike/atv seat covers.
I don't think the backing cardboard(?) is thick enough for staples. It's way thinner than a dirt bike seat and the staples might show through on the other side.
It still wouldn’t prevent sagging over time
What is that spray?
I just don’t understand how material technology hasn’t completely solved this issue in the decades and decades it’s been an issue.
Interesting, nicely done, except leaves us hanging on key spots. At min 3:45, you're showing replacement material without specifying that this is a headliner combined with backing? (something you sell?) Same thing with the glue you use... Is this the notorious 3m stuff -- infamous for seeping through fabric and making a general mess? (and I'm watching this after seeing several professional installers expound at length on why they apparently never recommend gluing... Confused even more now)
No wonder people use tacks.... what a pain in the ass.
this would be great but to bad my dog has completely destroyed the liner having me to completely replace it
Please take this video this is the worst diy job ever 😅 i rather order a new headliner
Where do i buy the cloth at?
My 95 truck has ugly head liner with cardboard not hard wood
I'm very glad to have seen this AND Ithink I'll go pay a professional to do this for me as I am not going to be capable of doing this myself. However I greatly appreciate the process and understanding of what goes into this
Use a small foam paint trim roller or a small piece of the same foam headliner to gently spread the foam backed headliner onto the backer board. Using hands and fingers directly may leave indents or depressions where the glue has soaked through the foam. I hope you went back and cleaned up the corners because the final video (of the headliner standing upright) shows the liner not glued down in the corners and contours. Otherwise, great video, thanks for the tips.
Will you replace mine? Glad to bring my car to your garage!
I didt this my self and got tons of wrinkles on the side and could not fix it
I believe he is using the permatex automotive headliner adhesive.
What material do you use: backed with polyethylene or with polyuretane? Where do you buy material? How much per linear foot (5 ft width)
How much would this cost for a Volkswagen passat
