- In this video I will show you how to replace old saggy headliner in a Jeep Cherokee XJ. Today I will be installing on a 2 door 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ. I will be showing the whole process from start to finish. This process is similar to nearly all vehicles that have a cloth headliner. If you have any other questions that the video doesn't cover make sure to comment below and I would be happy to answer.

New knife blades work best for cutting this material! Thanks all for letting me know...
Best headliner video for the Cherokee on TH-cam ! Thanks
Thank you so much. Your video is "spot-on Correct". I followed your steps and it came out flawless with a pro-done look. I even took your tip and got my fabric from Joann's. Again, with full due respect, thank you so much for guiding us all thru what seemed to be a daunting project. Breaking it down by following your steps make it easy and a no-brainer. Thanks again. KUDOS!
Thank you very much for saving me a lot of headaches figuring things out myself. I didn't like the way the material was sticking with one side sprayed, so I did 2 side spray on everything. Also, to those like myself that cringed with the dull knife, you will find that this material is hard to cut. I used a new blade and still had to saw with it. I ended up using a small pair of sharp scissors for a lot of it, and I used a pointed blade from a carving kit for poking holes.
I did this on my 88 Comanchee, had to get a refresher now that I will try on my 96 Cherokee...I love Jeeps. Great video man.
Best Jeep headliner replacement video out there. Thanks for this. The dull razor got to me, maybe use scissors after the initial center hole. That is again
Did my headliner today. Thanks for the video, made this go so much faster. Your videos are fantastic. I appreciate how you go at a pace that allows us to Krupp up with what you're doing. You really know your stuff! Love the channel, Krupp the XJ videos coming.
Incroyable depuis le temps du premier cherokee au dernier de 2001, jeep n'a jamais réglé ce problème de headliner... Merci pour la vidéo 👍
I did a headliner today in my ZJ. Your video here was instrumental in making it a total success. A little different but mostly the same. Thank you! The best headliner video I have seen.
Great video… gonna help my daughter repair her sagging headliner on her new-old 1992 Cherokee Laredo. This took the intimidation factor down to zero. Thanks buddy!
I've watched several headliner videos for my Jeep, and you are by far the best. Thanks for helping a newbie out. Seriously, great instructions and video clips.
Wow!
I just got my first jeep Cherokee this morning. Its a 2001 and has a saggy headliner......
This is awesome, thanks for sharing
heya OutJeeper, great vid -- thanks for posting it! One little trick to make your life easier: before installing the headliner, use a fine-point Sharpie to mark some of the hole locations (esp. the speaker screw holes) with a tiny dot from behind; it'll seep through the fabric and make locating the holes a no-brainer. The speaker grille will hide any evidence of the marks.
On the big round holes, btw, I made 6 cuts; the fabric wraps just a little easier and tighter. Oh, and I did use a nice, sharp razor blade to do 'em ;^)/
I spent so much of my childhood being terrified of the car stuff (no one in my family does this stuff). It's so satisfying watching you do this - you clearly know what you're doing, and you're great at it - but it gives me hope that I can do it as well. It's interesting to see that it's not so much a challenging task, but instead, a time consuming one. Changed the Valve cover gasket with a friend today... I did more of the watching rather than working (paid for the beer & pizza!), but this^^ I think I can do on my own time. Cheers man!!
P.s. I'm blown away by all the Cherokees near ya. They're next to impossible to find in my local hole. That being said, I know someone who is selling a '91 lifted Cherokee if you know an interested buyer! San Diego, CA.
Great video. Thank you very much! You made this easy by providing a substitute material for the headliner that can be sourced locally from fabric store and name brand adhesive that can be sourced locally from auto supply store. Nothing fancy or overly technical used in video.
Getting ready to put some red buffalo plaid on my headliner. My current headliner is falling everywhere lol. I bought these miniature screw pins to hold it up for now. Can’t wait for the weather to warm up more here so I can get this done. Thank you for the very informative video!
Great video, I actually pulled mine and they were salvageable so I repainted with carpet dye. For the same amount of effort, I could have done this! I saw a video by ICON who does top level restorations for big bucks; he mentioned using marine-grade fabric, as it is way more durable, UV resistant, cheaper, and can be cleaned by wiping down.
Great video but watching that dull razor blade part was like nails in a chalkboard.
Jay S Just the way she goes...
I didn't even remember this comment but I see I got 42 people that agreed lol
Great video! Thank you for making the time to film the process, edit the footage and then sharing it with the rest of us! I replaced the headliner in my new to me 2000 Cherokee Sport over the weekend. Huge improvement! The detail you provided with Torx bit sizes was great and saved me having to make an extra trip to buy a T47 bit!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Doesn’t look difficult, just very detailed. Very helpful.
Thanks for this video! Was able to do the headliner in my 04 explorer for $50 and it came out great!
Love this video!! I will be going fabric shopping later today for my Mini Cooper S R53 and starting a new project this weekend haha! Thank you again for making this look simple enough for me to try!

Best video I'vee seen for headliner replacement.
Nice job.That material laid down well.
Thank you!!! I've been wanting to replace the headliner in my Jeep forever! I think I will go green :)
Just inherited my Dads 96 grand cherokee that need a bit of work. Came across your channel and so far you've helped a ton! keep the vids coming -) thanks!
THANK YOU MAN... THIS IS MY NEXT PROJECT FOR SURE..
Hi, I'm watching this in May of 2023 n I mean st say, you did a beautiful job !!!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this....it is my next project on my 1998 2dr...I will probably just paint mine but it really helps to see just how to remove the headliner....
Gonna try to do this on my sons jeep. Only exception being that I'm thinking of installing some noise insulation because I'm getting him a Bluetooth stereo installed and I'd like him to be able to hear me when I call him.
I’m doing this to my Jeep now
What did you use for insulation ?
Wow. ALTRA cool video. This has saved many, many wasted hours and $. Excellent stuff. Thanks SO much.
Looks good! I found personally it was just was just easier to paint it was a foam roller and some latex house paint.
You have great videos 👍🙂
This helped me a lot with what to use and getting the head liner out of my 2000 XJ Sport. Awesome job! This will be my first time doing the head liner in any vehicle.
thanks for the thorough walk through.
Great video. I have a 1999 Cherokee Sport that's ready for a new headliner. Thanks.
New headliner looks great bro
I'm still having trouble comprehending how great that turned out.
Magic has it's ways
So 😎 cool my ranger needs it and the Corolla xj still looks good. Thanks 🙏!!!
Good video, thanks
Excellent video 👍👍 I'm gonna take mine out this spring and just paint it lol skip the glue and fabric
Iv'e done two headliners a while back, you made an excellent video. I liked the way you did it "landscape mode" makes for a much better outcome. Thanks for making the video.
Good job on a inexpensive DIY headliner makeover. 👍 However, I personally would have used some batting material (thin) to give it a little moor plush look and may help reduce noise. Gluing in between layers.
Outstanding job, thanks
Omg thank you for this i am going to do this to my jeep in spring. So helpful thank you
Wow very cool video thank you so much, my 1998 Sport Jeep needs this 😊you explain everything very nicely!👍🍊County Ca,
Nice job, looks real clean!
Thank you for the help.
Great job! and not one curse word :)
Looks really good!
Another well appreciated video. Thank you! Small note: My 99 Cherokee 2 door seat belt screws has T50 torx screws. Your video mentions T47.
You are correct, it is a T50. I only had a T47 on hand at the time.
very good video! only thing I didnt like was the material choice,but hey,each to their own!
Great video you showed trim removal, thanks
Good job. I like it.
well done!
Great video. I’m learning
OMG that knife blade! DUDE! What's a blade, like 10 cents? Lol! Nice work though. I'm not afraid to rip into mine after watching this. Thanks!
Thats cool, I'm going to do that to my jeep
Thank you for the answer as to how much will be needed! I am planning on 6 yards as my car happens to be decked (96 buick park ave) it has a lot of things to cover and I am going custom as well so I kinda want to place designs so to speak.
Gracias me quedo como el pico
Nice video Tx. Btw, always cut away from your hands...and uses scissors for that material.
Best video ever
Nice Job
Hubby thanks you..we thank you..going to put a 🇺🇸 in our jeep ..
Great video! Thank you
Thanks for a well descripted video.
Thanks this was very informative
actually gonna do this next week, already bought my material
Good video thanks
I think I definitely would have taken the opportunity to put in some sound deadening while the headliner was out. Looks good though. Nice job. :)
What would u use for sound deadening material?
@@ceemartin8427 you can find FREE poly batting made from spun plastic in discarded sofas next to dumpsters at thrift stores after hours or apartment complexes and it's both sound and insulating.
But many people buy expensive and heavy rubber sound patches I think are overkill and don't insulate but if you aren't living in your vehicle, insulation isn't as important.
Jim M over time most cherokees run into that wonderful AC problem, and wheeling with AC on sometimes overheats the motor. So I’d say it might be smart to have some kind of insulation in there. My Cherokee is bare metal, no headliner no nothing. There are days when it feels like an oven in there.
I hope this ideal works with my t tops head liner
I need to source a new fiberglass headboard, mine wasn’t optioned with speakers or dome lights and I want to install them
Pretty sweet
would it be possible to do this with a thicker material?? for example a Pendleton wool blanket
You could, for example I've used a thicker fleece on another Jeep and I've noticed I should have use even more glue because the corners like to sag with the heavier wait. It can be done but you may have more difficulty with it not being able to stretch as much and you'll have to use alot of glue.
Очень красиво! Молодец!
The Seatbelts in the rear are T50 not T47
I have a 97 Jeep Cherokee Country. Replacing the rear speakers and having trouble removing the roof mounted console they are housed in??? Stuck!
Good video Austin
Excellent video! Would you say there's a difference in cabin noise now since the new headliner isn't foam?
I heard no difference
Awesome video. Thank you. I finished redoing the headliner and visor for our 1990 jeep. My boyfriend wants me to his jeep now. Do you have a viedo for a yj jeep wrangler headliner install?
I do not, just the Cherokee. But this is a similar process for majority of vehicles.
I’m jealous, I don’t have anything on my roof, no old headliner no nothing, just bare metal with about 300 stickers on it lol
Does the spray glue soak or discolor the fabric ? Just curious because I know the foam backing fabric doesn't have issues with that and I am debating what to use
I have done two headliners now. On both, the new fabric started sagging in a week. How long do you wait to apply the fabric after you spray the adhesive? Do you time it or just wait until it feels tacky but dry?
It’s less important to wait when you are gluing breathable fabric as the fumes can still escape out through the fabric. You may have more success if you stick it down while it’s still a little wet.
I've always waited a minute or 2 till it gets tacky. You gotta add a lot of glue and firmly press in the fabric to get it not to sag.
Awesome video man. How is it following up? Is it still holding strong?
Nice!!
I have been watching this video for a long time and I'm finally ready to try it myself! I just need a refresher on what dimensions I need for the fabric... I see this is 3 yards long but how wide is that? I just want to order some fabric and supplies from Amazon and not have to shop around.
A square yard just comes in a yard width as well. So 3 square yards should be enough to get the headliner and visors done if you wanted.
Just did my 2001 Cherokee headliner the same way. Used the same 3M Super 77 adhesive. That same day I had some trouble with the glue failing when the roof got hot in the sun. Later found out 3M makes a spray adhesive specifically for headliners. It has a temp rating of 170 degrees, but the Super 77 only has a temp rating of 110 degrees. So, I was wondering how your headliner is holding up. I'm parking my Jeep out of the sun for a few days to see if the glue sets up better. But I'm skeptical that it will withstand the heat of my black Jeep sitting out in the sun. What's been your experience so far?
I've never had it fall down before maybe in a couple little spots it started to unstick because there wasn't enough glue. But I usually had the windows down for a couple days just to get the fumes out and help it dry and I never had an issue. If I did hear of that other adhesive but it's not as good as the 77 as other people were saying.
@@OutJeeping Okay, thanks. Mine fell down so I decided to go with some DAP Weldwood Contact Adhesive Top and Trim. Pros use it for heat resistance. Hopefully it will do the trick.
Great work OutJeeping! I need to replace the headliner on my Jeep Grand Cherokee, and this gave me some good encouragement. I did have two questions:
1. Approximately how long did the entire process take?
2. Did you notice any difference in sound dampening using the fabric alone vs. the original fabric with foam backing?
It took around 3-4 hours and that's including it sitting for an hour to dry a bit. Personally I didn't notice any difference in sound from choosing a different material.
Clean the areas before you install the Nu-Hedliner
😂 that particular adhesive is excellent for paper and thin shit but it does release if the temperature rises inside the jeep. Spray grade contact adhesive is much better.
Como se llama el spray ???
I love your channel, but I have never seen a retractable butter knife 🤣. Do you sell those on Amazon?
It's an Ebay special lol
@@OutJeeping LOL! In all seriousness your channel is a great resource! My headliner is on the table in my shop with zero problems removing. Thanks for your tutorial. I did find an extremely easy way to brush off all of the old headliner. I have an old hand held Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner that I picked up from the thrift store for less than $4 and it was perfect for brushing and then vacuuming up the headliner material. It made really quick work of a job I wasn't looking forward to. My new headliner material should be in tomorrow. If I get ambitious I'll let you know how it's coming out once I get it installed.
Great video! Would you say the material was like flannel sheet type material or fleece (maybe twice as thick as flannel)?
Material was fleece with a plaid design
Did you consider using soundproofing at any point?
I have but this was my buddies Jeep and he did not want to go that route at the time.
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing! Can a factory roof rack be installed on an XJ that didn't come with a roof rack from the factory? Thanks.
I believe so but you will have to drill some holes in the roof to bolt it on.
@@OutJeeping Thanks!!!
❤️ your channel! Going to start mine today. Any updates on information or material used?
Thank you!
Everything seems to be holding up great so far, even in my other jeep after 4 years.
Hey sir, what holds the rear speaker bar up?
Know a good place to get the entire headliner board? Mine is missing, but would really like to have it and the roof console back in.
I don't know if anyone manufactures them new. Best bet is to find it from another jeep, either from a junkyard or someone parting out a jeep
I was considering just pulling out the whole fiberglass piece, leaving the ceiling bare rather than replacing the actual headliner. Is this a bad idea?
It will definitely be noisier inside
Very handy vid man, how long did you put into it, start to finish? I have this same project ahead, think im gonna try mine with cow hide... but not sure as its not flexible like material fabric.
It took roughly 6 hours, but that includes letting it dry for an hour or so with the new material and glue on. Definitely using a stretchy material is best for reducing the amount of wrinkles in the finished product.
