I like that you included the problem with the gluing. Troubleshooting problems or advising how to avoid them is where the real value is for these kinds of videos.
Thank you for this. Yours is the most practical, realistic video I've seen on this (very common) problem. Further to your video I am going to use your exact approach. Just looking up materials now. Best of luck with the videos :)
A few tips: 1. Make sure to glue and smoothen properly, do not, I repeat do not put the fabric on the glue in one instance. Go slow and make sure you do not have any folds or wrinkles. I have a wrinkle and it ruins the whole look. Trust me, be careful as that glue will not give you any room to remove and re-install. 2. The B pillars, between two doors, are easy to move if ya need, just pull the two panels back to form a triangle. They will unhinge and the top grey one will fall, later when reinstalling form a triangle and just put them from the vertex straight back in (make sure hinges are aligned). 3. The lights will not turn on when the screws are taken off so.. don't worry! 4. Make sure you clean the old headliner COMPLETELY! It is really dirty, I found a rag and your bare hands can work (for mine at least) 5. The headliner is made of foam so be careful when getting it out of the car, also there will be wires connected with tape at the top un-tape it and you can always re-tape later (the wires are for the lights) 6. When cutting holes for handles and stuff make sure you make the holes big enough almost as big as the whole since you need to get the screws and bolts through. Leave a like if this helps!
nice job...I get the impression some makes/models have different 'ceilings'. I have an older Mercedes and I believe it's just fabric that attaches, unlike yours which has the ceiling molding that the headliner attaches to. Anyway, I was impressed with your pretty positive attitude during the whole affair...and it looks pretty damn good...thx for taking the time
Hey bro or anybody else if you spray it on the hard surface and then spray also on the foam. It will bond better. All you need to do is spray both surfaces wait 5 minutes and it will be good. I use this technique to make costumes. It works great.
not bad it looks nice.and it cost you only 40$. i want to change the headliner of my honda accord next week.it will cost me 150 $ at a proffessional store.i hope it will look like new. i think you did a good job. bravo.
My problem is that the clips and clip mounts break off. And, none of the clips want to line up when pounding the trim back in, breaking off more of them.
My cat is looking around with his mouth slightly open..biting its own back..walking..now biting its own back again. Meowing now. Running now..scratching his neck with back leg..Hissing.. biting his back again.. The fleas talking in your video is Meth for Cats!
I just called around here for a headliner job. The guy I previously used has retired; he charged $275 in the summer of 2020. Now in 2021 when I called around they were saying 3 MONTHS waiting list and a minimum cost of $500. So it looks like I'm doing it myself, instead of paying the arrogant thieves around here.
Pretty good to me . I'm Doing My Honda Ridgeline as we speak Hey compare to a saggy headliner its 10* better and about the price here in Atlanta its $ 250-350 for mobile headliner repair man charge .
Mine seems like it isn’t sticking like it should and I waited 10 mins for it to dry. Doesn’t look like it’s taking the form of the actual headliner either, any tips or I’m doing fine...
Sounds like you let it sit for too long. That stuff is really sticky, and should have no issues with it binding. But if you waited 10 minutes, it probably dried.
Cliff's How To Channel I just saw this video and did the exact same thing to remove the headliner on my civic si and it was a peace of cake.. Thanks bro.
I'll be honest with you. I replaced the liner when I bought the car used. Now after the hot sun, and 6 years, it's sagging again. But this time... FK the liner, am gonna just paint it with plastic paints or something heavy duty. Liner will just keep wasting away!! The dumbest thing the car industry invented. CARPET ON THE CEILING??
I appreciate the offer, but no thank you. I’m pretty sure there are a lot of people who do it pretty cheap though, in the area. They’ll come to your house and everything! I think it’s about $100-150.
+sambking that is a personal question you have to decide for yourself. Of course, if you are very busy, and make very good money, it would be worth it to to just pay someone. Not everyone is as fortunate.
sambking if you have ever worked on anything on your car or anything in your life yourself.. it's not about the money it's really about the rewarding feeling you get when you're done. You shouldn't be watching these DIY videos if going want to make comments like that.
Setup an appointment with me for just installation and I’ll be with you for help and I’ll pay you 100$ cash, I have Toyota Yaris hatchback it has aftermarket sunroof

Enjoyed your video. Your dialogue was honest and well appreciated...good work
You did a really good job. I will fix my headliner as you did !! Thanks for sharing your video.

when the adhesives tack off to quickly and strings the between the two surfaces, use a blade to slice through the glue to separate

You can use a paint roller to get out wrinkles.

Thanks for taking the time to video your work!
Thanks for breaking it down Cliff. Awesome work
Yea, I would never put on this new fabrick - just asking for problems. Paint It or like one comment says Plasti-Dip.
My problem is that the clips and clip mounts break off. And, none of the clips want to line up when pounding the trim back in, breaking off more of them.

Sheesh...
Paint It or Plast-Dip It. Nobody notices the headliner anyway.
Need to use HIGH HEAT adhesive if you live in Texas.

I was hoping to see how to detach the a pillar but its the only thing that wasnt shown.
Thanks for the good video. Will try to do mine.

If you got all that glue off, why put a new fabric on? Why not just paint it using flat beige paint?

Looks good enough to me for a diy
Hello, may I know if it’s possible, how much to replace mine, in Orlando Florida ?
No thank you. There are a lot of people who will do this for about that price though. Just do a google search.
Thanks, great info.
I lol'd at the sped up brushing
LMAO!!! The squeaks. 😂😂😂😄😄😂😂😂😄😄😄

Can you use a rotary wire brush attached to a drill instead of using the hand held brush?? Or is that to rough?
+Tang0Fox1 the drill may be a bit much... You could try it though. Just be careful not to eat into the stiff material of the headliner.
Cliff's How To Channel ok thanks
Cliff's How To Channel ok thanks
Alvin???
Where did you get your headliner fabric from? And how many yards did you get?
eBay, and it came with just enough to do the car.
how did you cut the hole for the sunroof?
+Cassie Chick with a razor
Cliff's How To Channel I just saw this video and did the exact same thing to remove the headliner on my civic si and it was a peace of cake.. Thanks bro.
I just wanna ask how bout the air bags on the side? Did you remove that first?
You don’t remove the airbags. Just the A pillar plastic covering.
Cliff's How To Channel so you dont need to touch the airbags? Just remove the cover?
I would like to contract with the chipmunk to voice over the slow parts of my next video!
how do you get the moonroof put do o can replace the liner too
I didn’t do that. Just the main roof.
Did you use your original fabric?
New fabric
Thanks buddy
How long did this take you?
I want to say about 2-3 hours.
I'll be honest with you. I replaced the liner when I bought the car used. Now after the hot sun, and 6 years, it's sagging again. But this time... FK the liner, am gonna just paint it with plastic paints or something heavy duty. Liner will just keep wasting away!! The dumbest thing the car industry invented. CARPET ON THE CEILING??
i folded mines a fuckin cracked the board can that be fixed or do i need a new headliner?
What's that name of that spray? Or can i use any adhesive?
3M spray adhesive heavy duty is highly recommended
150 ? Where I’m at it’s around 300-450
awesome video man, what are you going to school for??
+John Paul Gabriel Zuluaga I just graduated UCF with a degree in aerospace engineering.
Cliff's How To Channel that's awesome congratulations, hope videos don't stop
Yeah Its worth hiring someone or buying adhesive spray if you dont have the money or a nice car...lol.
I got a price of $550.00 to do mine its a Honda Ridgeliner.
Dang!!
Don't do the chipmunk thing. It's stupid. But thanks this helped alot
Editing error.
Hey so im also in Orlando, FL. I will pay u if u fix my headliner. Let me know
I appreciate the offer, but no thank you.
I’m pretty sure there are a lot of people who do it pretty cheap though, in the area. They’ll come to your house and everything! I think it’s about $100-150.
not bad
Wait a minute there's a mobile headliner repair people? Why I didn't knew this.
Luis Moreno to get a company to do the job about how much
I'll see if anything about him what would be the cost for a professional to install a headliner in a 2005 Dodge Dakota
I would expect the price to be at least $250
40 bucks? how much is your time worth?
+sambking that is a personal question you have to decide for yourself. Of course, if you are very busy, and make very good money, it would be worth it to to just pay someone.

Phoenix xx can be therapy too for grumpiness 😂
Stupid question-time worthiness is not for your inquiry it’s about info d.....!

I hate tht sound man annoying next time just add 🎶 🎵
You have to spray the foam as well. That's why it falls off in time
