That turned out great. I did my 2000 XJ back in 2016 I thought it was pretty easy and it came out looking great. I used the same kind of fabric the Jeep had and I did not have any problems around the back sound bar. Also a wire brush works great to get the old foam off. I still have the Jeep and the headliner still looks great. Your videos are very good keep it up!
Always love watching your content and use the info on every XJ project I do - THANK YOU! One trick for removing the old foam from the headliner was a nylon brush attachment for a drill. Didn't take a lot of time at all
Almost 3 years, in fact, the work shown in the video was mostly done in early 2021. It has held up well other than a couple minor lift points that have not spread, although I do have a carport and it doesn't bake as hard in the summer. In the future I would rely entirely on 3M High-Strength 90 adhesive. In early '21 all spray adhesives were subject to random pandemic shortages and I had to use a grab bag of types and brands.

Good call on the wire brush! Pinning this one so that others hopefully see it. That was one of the few tools I didn't think about at the time.

Wow. I used a soft brush to get the old foam layer off. Took me like 5 minutes.... Lol
I just brushed it to the middle and shop vac'd it all up.
One tip with getting off the old foam is use some sort of large brush.
Also the rear where the speaker section is very difficult like you said. We started there and worked forward.
A upholstry cleaning brush on a drill will get the naaty foam off in about 20 mins.
Great job, looking forward to the next one 😊
Nearly done editing part 2, should be up early next week!
Love me some flame-laminated tricot...
I should have known you would remember the correct name for that fabric :-)
stiff hand brush gets rid of foam extremely fast
Yup, good call. I pinned a previous commenter who noted that a wire brush would be ideal.
Aaron , how did you get those rear split seats with headrests?????
The full set is from a ZJ Grand Cherokee. The fronts bolt to the XJ chair rails, but the rear required significant customization.
How has it held up over the last year?
