How to REPLACE YOUR HEADLINER cheap and easy!

- I replace the sagging worn-out dirty headliner in the Jeep Cherokee for under $40 in about 2 hours.
Here is what you will need:
3 Yards of fleece from a fabric store (More if you vehicle's headliner is large, less if it is small. 3 was good for my Jeep Cherokee)
1-2 cans of 3M Supper 77 Spray Adhesive
For most headliners, the only tools you will need are a few screw drivers and maybe some star drivers. You will also need a good pair of scissors that you don't mind getting sticky

Thanks buddy! Appreciate the feedback
I used to do headliners at an upholstery shop I worked at. Glued a scotch bright pad to a DA to remove all the old crumbling padding material. Worked really well when you get spots that don't like to come off, and it all needs to come off or it shows in the finished product. Another trick, if your headliner panel is cracked and broken like many I've seen, glue patches of canvas on the backside to hold it all together.
If your headliner material is thicker you can use duct tape as well
What is a DA?

@@brendanjames7122 ty for explaining.
Was intimidated to do my headliner, but after watching this i think i got it. Thanks!!
Did you do well on your installation? I'm still sceptical on doing mine. Afraid to break clips and stuff.
@@levihaywood8670 yeah I did well. Use one of those tools to lift up clips and panels. They have them at harbor freight. I just broke like 2 of 10+.
just what I was looking for , thanx for not detailing every screw you removed for 10 minutes !!
Oh. My. God.
Finally someone on UA-cam who understands the proper use of the time-lapse!
Most of the time they either are non-existent where they are needed or so slow with droning narrative as to be more irritating than useful.
Your fast time-lapse is refreshing. (If I miss something I can always rewind.)
When searching these videos people are looking for resolutions that they can find, verify and then go apply.
I personally don't need to hear the whole life story about how someone's 97 year old grandfather came from Eastern Europe where he used to wander around the house naked and .... blah blah blah.
Videos need to be informative, clear and sometimes entertaining. They do not have to be long.
Having said that, thank you for your attention to detail. So often videos start off with the assumption that the viewer has been watching the 400 other videos the content maker has previously created. That kind of familiarity works as a good characteristic of a pleasant video just as long as ALL of the information is still included in the video. Like the adhesive comments or the broken clip issue.
Anyway. Thank you again, from this noob.
Gonna go look for a discount tartan fleece!

HAHA... I am glad you appreciated that. I am with you. I'd prefer to be given the choice to enjoy the whole video in the creators vision OR just get the facts if I do not have all day to waste
I followed the video closely when I did the headliner on my 2002 Dakota. It came out perfect! I ended up buying a 90”X90” gray fleece throw blanket at Walmart for $9. Since the blanket matches my seats, my friends think I’m full of shit and had it professionally redone. There were some tears in the fiberglass shell which I repaired with fiberglass cloth and resin. I totally recommend this way of doing it yourself! Was about to buy a new headliner for about $600 with shipping. Between the 2 cans of 3M Super 77 and the cost of the blanket, I’m into my new headliner for $28.
WOW.. good call on the blacket!
well that's a groovy pattern you chose there. There are lots of videos on headliners but since you and I have about the same beards, I decided to go with your advice. Thanks so much!
Bearded brothers!
Well then theres 3 of us
Thank you for your video. I followed your procedure and did the same for my van. It looks amazing now. The 3m spray works quick! I used one can on the fleece and one can for the top. So far, it hasn't separated. Thanks a bunch.
That is awesome !! I have 2 vehicles with sagging headliners and scored some cool fabric. After seeing this, now I want something loud.
Nicely done. Thanks.
Thanks for this! You answered pretty much every question I would have had throughout and I feel a bit more confident now in attempting my Toyota headliner (especially since I was also planning on doing it in an alternative fabric). This turned out great!
LOVE the fabric! Not loud at all, tasteful and peppy. Thank you for this video.
Thanks man! I replaced a headliner in an older Chevy truck years ago. Was pretty simple. I'm doing my 88 suburban soon and just watched your vid. Great idea on using fleece! I didn't want to spend the money on headliner material. Now I need to decide on colors/patterns. I'm excited!
That is so flipping cool!! I just may do a patterned headliner since I need to replace it. 👍🏻👍🏻
Love the colors and pattern. I like the idea of laying the mat on top and folding back to do one side at a time. We all be learnin'. Great vid!
Great video mine turned out nice! Only thing I would mention is in hot and humid areas it’s a good idea to let the headliner dry/cure inside or a good vented garage away from the sun for up to a day depending on how hot/humid so it won’t melt the adhesive!
Thank you for pouting this out there for us to see. I'll be redoing my headliner in my Yukon after the summer. Its just to hot to do it now. (I'm in the palm Springs area so its 110 today) but I will be using that 3M you got there to do mine! Thank you
I love how everything turned out great at the end. Thats how it should be done. Great job on the vid. Also, good luck on the next vids you'll be doing. Keep on having fun with 'em.
I've always wondered how to change a head liner this was a really good video thanks!
(Hands down) dude you're so patience and detail oriented, I got mad just by watching at the video even when I fast forward it a couple of times lol I suck 😂🤣
Thanks for making this video, it's awesome to know this can be accomplished without the need to purchase an adhesive air gun and expensive headliner fabric. I love your choice of design, it suits the wagon well. I have a single cab ute(truck) so not as much area to do, I'm heading out this afternoon to look for fabric with skulls on it. Cheers man!
Cheers!
I think you make it look a lot easier than it is, mostly what I'm worried about is breaking clips and various trim pieces from the a and b pillars and such
That is certainly a concern and I will admit that the newer the vehicle the more complex those panels are likely to be. I do believe that as long as you are even a little bit inclined toward DIY and you go slow you should be fine
I did not know the actual headliner came out. lol. I just thought it was one of those really hard jobs to do. But you make it look fairly easy. And by the way, I'm impressed that you got that print on there really straight! That had to be difficult. Thanks for the video!
@MyPageMike Caldwell LOL
I know, right!
I think it looks awesome and the video was VERY well done! I need to replace my headliner like yesterday and usually I'll watch a 100 videos before I jump on a project but I'm good with just this one and feel confident that I can do it with no issues. Thanks for taking the time to do this for simpletons like me...
This is great. I also gotta say thank you for adding important details in the description!
You made this look easy, hella creative, and fun... Thanks Hun🤗🤗🤗
Effing beautiful, I love that you use fleece, it comes in so many variety of patterns n colors. My jeep needs same. Gonna do that !!!
My 1995 Grand Cherokee needs a new headliner so bad, and I've been watching different videos to help me accomplish this. Your video was the most comprehensive and has the easiest solution that I've found. Sweet Jeep will be looking fantastic in no time at all thanks to you. LOVE, LOVE the notion of colorful fabric and your choice to think "out of the box." Thank you!
This is super helpful! I also didn't know it was a thing for the headliner to come out. I like how creative we can be with the fabric too. I plan on trying this within a couple weeks!🤘🏼 Thanks for the video
How did it turn out
Yes I’m interested in the outcome?? We’re you able to DIY? And what adhesive did you choose?
EXCELLENT VIDEO, plus on the "if we want to skip ahead" i didnt but that was very considerate. The headliner looks great! Mine wont be so loud but ill be following your video
Miracle worker! Not doing the headliner but to get my wife to watch a car video, she's like WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING? I said a project that we could both do, for YOUR jeep. THX!
HAHAH.. Love it!
Your video was informative, thorough, and to the point ...didn't waste time . Some advice in the comments,was additionally helpful . This project is in my future for my 01 Safari van.Thanks
Super helpful! Thank you so much for posting this. Replaced my headliner today! Joann Fabrics sells headliner normally $15/yd, on sale this week 8.99/yd plus 25% coupon. And Home Depot sells 3M 77 for $10 a can. Wish I could attach after photo, so pleased. $40 diy vs $300 professionally in my area.
XD
JCWhitney has replacement headliner for my pick-up for $350.00 and up!!! Save 90% and do it myself. :-)
@S2 Turbine I think Todd meant that if he had got one from JC, it would have been 350. But he didnt want to spend that much and did it for 90% cheaper.
I've never seen this done before and I'm 60. Nice job.
Came out really good. I wouldn't have chosen that pattern but the work was executed flawlessly.
I have a Dodge van 3500,
15 passenger van that I should do this to. It's not bad now but it's old and a little grubby looking.
Too bad it doesn't work on old cars with sewn-in headliners. They get torn so easily. :-/
Thanx! Great vid! Sagging headliners everywhere will appreciate this
This is SO exciting! I have a 99 Jeep Cherokee that I need to do this to and I thought I would be limited to buying boring headliner fabric. Yours looks great and you have really great tips. Thank you!
The headliner is dope 😂 I love that pattern. I think I’ll just go with a regular color though
Great demo. Helped me get motivated to do mine.
Best video so far on this. Lots of important details I wish I had known before.... but now I do. Thank you!!
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the vid
I was thinking of just getting a boring old headliner. but maybe I'll get something cool now! Your headliner came out nicely. Thank you so much for the work you put in to make this video.
That's really cool, my headliner is very dirty, and now I'm thinking that I'm gonna change it for one with more personality like yours
i went to youtube to figure out a cheap way to fix my headlining in my mazda. and found this and i am so happy to another level. and first i was just going to use the stock fabric or order a replacement. but now i’m going to add my own personality to the roof of my car. thank you so much
Thank you so much! I couldn't get the old headliner to stay up with glue bc of the foam crap. I'm so glad you posted this video! My son and I are going to do this for his car.
I want to do my GMC pick up but, I can't afford to have somebody do it and this video was just great man! all the way through.. I think I can do this, thank you
Doing my headliner right now thanks for the video wasnt sure if it was going to be worth the effort but looks great compared to just trying to mend it.
That looks so freaking awesome I like I very much 👌. It's an unexpected loud, never in a million years have I seen something like this.
Dude, that color is AWESOME.... Great choice...
Flawless execution! This will be my weekend project
Thanks! Good luck with it!
You can lay it out right on the headliner board like you want it to look, then just pull back half from front to middle to glue, then do other half. If you dont have helper or room.
I had no idea what actually made up a headliner. I love your taste in headliners. I can’t wait to do one!,
Great job!!!! It’s gorgeous. Thanks for the advice. We are going to tackle one!
Solid vid! Love the indian blanket theme
Duuuuuuuuuude. You just changed my life forever. Love the video, all your commentary, etc. You gave me a new project to work on :-)
Good luck with it!
I LOVE THIS! Just like apholstering a very large, thin curvy cushion. Looks tedious but simple enough to do.
Really good and complete demonstration. A lot of effort to prepare this video, but for all of us it is highly appreciated. Congratulations and a big thank you.
That looks great! I wish I wasn't so lazy I would fix mine.
In doing this job I found a few helpful tricks if anyone is interested:
1-in removing the old spongy material from the headliner “board”, an abrasive brush on a drill really cleans the surface. Follow up with a shop vac with an upholstery brush attachment to clean up and then blow everything off with an air compressor. A really clean surface is critical to a smooth finish.
2-do a prep coat of spray adhesive to make the “board” really tacky before the spray steps in this video. Also, prop the board up vertically for spraying. You won’t have to fight the function of the rattle can as much and your back & knees will be grateful. Get a rattle can spray gun trigger attachment ($5-8). It really makes it easier for spraying several large even coats.
3-use tools to press the fabrics down firmly--think plastic scrapers, wallpaper roller tools, 3” paint rollers-look around the shop and be creative.
4-take your time. Ideally the finished product will last several years with no maintenance so spend extra time now and do it right. If possible make it a 2 day process. Day 1 is removal, prep, fabric adhesion. Let it dry for a day, maybe with some weight & clamps so really get the fabric secured. Day 2-re-install the headliner and do a clean job refastening all the trip, visors, etc. I think it would be easy to rush through the re-install stage after all this work and botch the job. A little rest and reset in between might give a better result.
4-fabric choice. If you want to go bold, avoid extremely linear patterns. Straight lines will show misalignment and the pattern will fight against the contours and curves of the board. Random patterns are more forgiving. Think tie dye, stars and planets or ocean scented vs checkerboard or pinstripe. Trust me--I wasted $100 of carbon fiber material learning this one.
Thanks bud! Sounds like you had a heck of a time!
Best headliners repair video on UA-cam. It's a lot of work. However, it's done right with no cutting corners. Might even be better than factory finish. Thanks for showing us. Two thumbs up.
Thanks!
About to do my first headliner. Super helpful video. Thanks for the attention to detail in explaining everything
Good luck with it!
I like the fabric choice, fleece should also insulate some, temperature and sound-wise. I've always figured that the headliner is someplace to hide something that gives the car some personality. I once did a bold paisley in a car that was white with a tan interior and did zebra stripes in a friend's car (it was one of those, I was fixing it and he was like "I don't care what you do, just make it look good," he was pissed for about 5 minutes when he first saw it and then decided he liked it.)
I was under the impression that 77 wasn't strong enough to hold it up long term. I've always used the "high strength' 90, and both are stronger if you spray both sides, let them tack up and then glue together like a contact adhesive. If 77 works I may try that next time because it's somewhat repositionable (next car I want to do has t-tops so the headliner is relatively complicated).
what I've had really good luck with is to put the headliner on some sawhorses or bodywork stands, put the cloth over it then fold the cloth halfway over, glue one half, then do the other half. That way you can line it all up before it has glue on it, there is no flipping things over and you won't get the fabric dirty (you never have it sitting on the exposed face).
Hey what’s going on bro... That Headliner looks Awesome I just got my 2000 xj I have to do this on mine... looks great love the look... Thanks for sharing...☮️
I love you Mary Morrissey!
Great video! Very helpful! Easily explained! I love that fabric! Very southwesty!
Huh. One of the best and most concise diy vids I've watched. You manage to make it look pretty simple and fill one with the confidence to attempt it ones self.
Which probably means I'm gonna fuck it up...
I'll let ya know how it turns out.
thank you for the info. I am now a subscriber.
Awesome! Thanks. Glad to have you
I used elmers glue mix 50/50 with water in a spray bottle and fabric from walmart it lasted 12 years in socal i just sold the car and its was still holding besides one little spot its all about the prep work on the headliner its usually the foam that quits not the glue
Dang.. good tip! Thanks!
Looks awesome! I’ve been wanting to do the same thing with that type of design. Thanks for the informative vid!
Love the beard! I've never seen this done before and didn't even know it was a thing. Thanks for really making it look like something I could do. I think it is nice you chose a whimsical replacement, because it emphasizes the fact that it's okay to do this kind of thing oneself and do it the way you want to. Great job!
Did something similar on a dark blue 1980 Buick Skyhawk(!) (Buick's version of the Chevy Monza) back in the day (late '80's). Had a few yards of dark blue corduroy kicking around, so... I used contact cement - never again. Still turned out alright though :-)
Very well done. This is exactly how I have done aircraft headliners and trim panels. While one generally uses a flame retardant fabric in aircraft, the glue and the process is identical.
I recommend doing it on a large table that you have covered with something soft like a moving blanket, which is covered with a sheet of plastic, all of which is securely taped down. The blanket helps protect the workpiece and keeps if from sliding too much, and the plastic makes cleanup a lot quicker.
Good info to Know!Flynbenny I’m 58 now and will do this with my Grandson on a 1994 Mazda 4x4 in TN. But it’s cold right Now can’t wait to see how it well turn out😁. 2022 March
Awesome! You inspired me to get going on my corolla thank you for doing this video!
Dude, that looks awesome!
Just bought an 87’ MJ.. it has no headliner, glad this popped up in my feed. Awesome video
You probably already know this by now, but I saw a young lady replace her headliner and she used a hot iron, electric iron to smooth out the wrinkles and heat up the glue a little bit it looked terrific and worked well.
I didn't know that! That would be a great way to do repairs if it starts to fall. Thanks so much for the suggestion.
Is there a video in this method?
You can't iron fleece,its a polyester material,You can at really low temps but its not enough heat to actually help,so for him it would of been a disaster and lots of melted areas
D&E In The Garage is there a video on her using hot iron?
I like the choice of material it gets away from the usual drab auto lining. It looks fun and really pops! Nice job!
Great job dude, thanks for the video. I think I’m going to do this in my car just as a cool upgrade!
I can pull engines do transmissions but I cannot do a headliner lol 😂 You didn’t amazing job 👍Next project car I get it I’m gonna try it
mine needs to be replaced as well, I left a orange soda in my car one day and when I got In it the next day there was soda all over my headliner. It looks like a spotted cheetah lol. it’s a 2001 Corolla and so it’s pretty old headliner so I tried cleaning it and that made the headliner worse.. lol so thanks for the video, I know it’s a different vehicle but it’s all pretty much the same instructions! 😀
Dang... what a way to ruin a day. Was the whole car sticky?? Yep, should be a similar process.
D&E In The Garage a little, didn’t Damage anything but the top though.
I just need to do mine in my Jeep Cherokee. That is fun and helpful to watch someone do it! Thanks!
Great Video. I thought OMG when I saw that blanket, but it looks great and perfect for a Jeep!
I just watched this..looks great. Live your choice of material!! I had an old school Pontiac station wagon. Took headliner out and used felt instead of fleece. The maroon color matched perfectly to the seats. Didnt have to worry about stretching. Nephew has it now and the liner is still up today.
Just take out the old and paint it like I did on my van.Its much easier and looks great😄
That is a good idea.
What kind of van? I'm in the process of restoring a 1978 chevy g20.
Doesn't adding the fabric/material help decrease the noise?
i just re-did my 02 dodge dakota with a star wars head liner and i absolutely love it it turned out fabulous!
I did my 79 Mustang years ago. I flipped it over and glued fabric to the other side. It worked. My Grand Cherokee I did it similar to this. Thanks for the video.
Spray bed liner or under coat on the metal before your reinstallation it will deaden the sound and help with jeep moisture. I have to do this to my 88xj should be fun. Good vid overall keep them coming
That is an awesome tip! never would have thought of that! Thanks!
So how long after you posted this did both AZ and NM send you your ID's?
It's not loud, that belongs in a Jeep XJ! Nice choice and job.
I liked what you did with the Jeep headliner because I'm looking for one now but I need one for a 2 door Jeep.. I have a few junk yards to check out but 2 door Jeep's are hard to come by.. I will check out your your UA-cam video when I get my headliner and thanks again..
Thank you for posting this... I replaced my head liner with green tartan fleece, now the head liner looks awesome.
Looks like a floor of a indian casino. Good work though .
😂😂😂. It does look like the floor of an Indian casino!! Good work tho 👍🏼
@Dawson Manuel Nobody does care because this video has nothing to do with that?

My mini VAN needs this DONE!! Imma do IT you made it sound so EASY!! Imma post when I do it
Please do. Good luck with it!
Christina- I have a Dodge mini van w/falling headliner. Did you do it? Did you post a video? Please leave a link so I can check it out. Thanks.
Nice job dude!!! I like the new Navajo headliner!! 👍🏼
That beard though 😍🔥
Why thank you
I wish i wouldve saw this last night just ripped mine out last night in my 98 jeep Cherokee 😭
Great job man, huge jeep fan, I like the headliner a lot. 👍
Thanx dude. This was really helpful. We had done it b4 but needed a refresher course cause it was about 30 years ago.
Thanks. My 99 Dodge Ram headliner is falling off. I think I can do this.
Same with my 01. Glad this video popped up on my feed to give me ideas.
Have you fix your headliner yet ??
Mine too!! My dash is brittle as hell!! Already broken into dozens of pieces? Wth were they thinking??
@@ascott6804 Check out LMC for your Dash. www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/DE/full.aspx?page=39 I just realized they have headliners too. www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/DE/full.aspx?page=36
Well if your stereo isn't loud,at liest the headliner is. Lol. Almost making it a 1960's love mobile. Ha Ha. Never had a fiberglass liner. All the ones I have done has been a molded foam type, or on old cars were molded Masonite. Cool job tho.
Looks awesome bro!!! And loud is awesome too!!!
Looks great! I'd never think to pick out that fabric, but then it looked just perfect with that Jeep!!
Hi great vid! I have been wondering how to fix this issue. Now I know
I just bought my first car, 07 Mazda 6 and my headliner is SHOT lol this is soo cool and it sounds relatively easy if you know what you're doing. Dunno if I'm brave enough to actually do this but now I think I might
Just got my first car too, a 06 mazda 6. I'm replacing my headliner with black suede and replacing the sunroof with a floral pattern. I'll record and post it if you want!
@@isaaclassi2910 I don't have a sunroof but I'm sure it would be a good upload :) I'm about to go get the fabric and adhesive spray to start mine
@@blackheartxcvii I'm having a hard time finding guides for the sunroof but it cant be much different. Good luck on your project 👍
