Hi, my name is Dayan. Im really happy i found you guys. I am about to do a restoration on a headliner of a VW Passat. Its my first time and after watching a few videos i feel more confident with the tips mentioned.
I do have a question, though:
Will the same technique work on the door panels ?
P.S.
Keep the DIY alive
Most modern Door trims will have a similar process, however it's not something we do. With door trims, you'll just need to be much more precise with the cuts around the edges, as its easier to cut too much off.
did you get the stretch fabric?
Oh yay. Now have to wait till you have stock.
Can you peel the foam off to do the pillars and sunvisors?
Yeah I spoke to supplier today, and an ETA on new arrival of stock is SEP 2023. I just tested a small sample to see if I could remove the foam, and the result was it didn't want to seperate well so I suggest for pillars wrapped in Suede to just use alternative stock thats without foam backing. Ive seen that type of stuff before at places like Spotlight. Or if you choose a more long lasting higher quality approach for Suede without foam backing for pillars I suggest 'Macro Marine Suede', which will have the UV and Automotive grade to it.
@@ReecesAutoHeadliningRepairs awesome, I can wait a few more months. I'll look at the uv suede.
i have a question, how many cm or meters do you used for headliner?
Wish me good luck! I’m about to do my 2009 Pontiac g8 gt ! I will be using the orange can (permatex) does that glue give you time to do all at once how you do or does it dry faster ? And thank you for the videos ! You have really helped out a lot !
Permatex would allow it all to be done in the one shot, usually more ideal when temperature is approx around 15°-20°
You can also just focus on one half at a time, sometimes that's the best way 👍
How do you do the deep handles? No matter what i do, i cannot seem to be able to stretch the material enough to fill the handle indents.
I like to find a topographic map headliner fabric for my 04 D2 land rover with foam backing
Great job wish I was near your place
Hi I just purchased a sued headliner ,but wondering how I can get the wrinkles out from it before installing it..if you can help it would be great thanks
U have to get them out before the glue sets 😭😂
I'm currently working on my 2014 Subaru Forester headliner after fixing a roof rail leak. I am in the process of removing the old headliner material from the board and it does not seem to have any foam at all and was really stuck on. The board itself is like layers of fiberglass. Should i be looking at a foam back material or no? Also, tryung to go from a velour to a stretch suede.
Felt and carpet style headliner fabrics seen on Subaru's usually are permanently stuck to the board, so we usually just recover straight over the top, using extra glue than usual.
I don't see an issue using suede fabric on thus job. Also you probably don't need foam backing if going straight over the top
I will do my one 2 week time on my holden statesman WH
Nice explanation! Thank you! Is there a good way to paint the pillars black as well? Also, do you ship to US/Canada ?
Thank you, spray painting is something we never really got in to. The fabric listing we have on eBay I believe is available for purchase in US, but to get it out of Australia makes it have a heavy postagecost unfortunately. Or we have another company we suggest for our US customers to use instead, and that is 'Headliner Magic' 👍
@@ReecesAutoHeadliningRepairs, Thank you! I'll check it out! How do they ship it? I heard some companies ship it folded instead of curled.. Because of this, you see folded marks all around.. Can this be avoided? or is there a trick to make them dissapear if they ship it this way?
@@Ricky07070909 I'm not sure with other sellers, we fold ours in order for it to be accepted via Australia Post.
Summary of how to deal with creases:
Unfold it and Allow to rest unfolded for a couple of days.
If its a sunny day, leaving it out in the heat can help with speeding up the process to allow the foam to expand again. However beware of birds and environment accidentally staining the fabric.
Usually as you apply it to the job, from our experience it will come out even more if not straight away.
Then once installed in the car, if anything leftover, park car in the sun and will also continue to look cleaner. This is a great tip to bring out any imperfections after completing the job, something we do on big jobs.
If you have access to a handheld steamer, they work amazingly. But just test your settings on a small section at the edge first.
Here is a video of us going into more detail about removing imperfections and creases.

@@Ricky07070909 Here is a another great video to watch us removing and applying fabric that in has a crease line through it, and you'll see it dissolve once applied to the job with the steps we suggest

@@Reece.wilson Very nice!! Thanks!! I'm checking them out!
does your material have stretch? I have a hard time getting material into the inner curves.
Im thinking about changing my beige headliner/moonroof in my 2022 Toyota 4Runner with a black suede. Would it be a terrible option to just keep the existing headliner, spray good glue and then put the new suede headliner directly over the top of the existing headliner? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with my current headliner besides the color, I’m just wondering if it would be a bad idea to just lay the new suede headliner directly over the top. I’d then just clean, primer and paint the plastic pillar parts black to match the rest of the vehicles black plastic. I’m just not a fan of the beige plastic and headliner because the headliner attracts dirty fingerprints and over time will just get dirtier and the fibers will look like you’ve cleaned them.
We do this quite often on newer headliners where they just aren't ready to sag, or may never sag, like seen on felt headliners, and in those scenarios we just apply new fabric eg: black suede straight over the top without any issues, all we make sure to do is apply plenty of glue, first layer of glue soaks into the fabric that's already on the job, then we do another coat with the outcome for it to sit more on top ready to stick to the fabric.
Can I use suede material with no foam backing for my headliner?
It's possible, if the board is in smooth condition it should look nice.
Hey .
I do the same thing as you do I was just wondering what pistol do you use to spray the adhesive?
We use a setup from two places that both do the same thing. If your referring to the actual nozzle on the gun tip, we just use the one that gives of a wide spray pattern.
TensorGrip T65 20lt canister with hose and gun by Tensor global.
Or
Cantac hsc tac canister with hose and gun, by glue guru.
What’s a good thickness for backing foam ?
Approximately around 4mm
Whats the ebay link for this black suede/alcantara material?
Until we get enough stock coming through from our large supplier where we can buy multiple rolls on a regular basis, ETA AUG 2024, and then we will do a listing on eBay and promotions
In the meantime, here is a listing for Foam Backed Suede that we have worked with last week with good results (Affiliate link to Seller: Rooflinings Repairable): ebay.us/hmqrgS
Note: I'm not in control of this affiliate listing, product, or price, so I can't be 100% sure it remains the material we can suggest.
Old trick.. if you have a DA (sander) with hook-n-loop (velco) use a red scotchbrite pad on it..
Hey buddy what’s the best one to get for black roof lining want it dark black
#1 black Ebony Velour
#4 Flat knit Ebony black
#5 Anthracite Flat knit
I'd recommend #1 ebony velour, that one gives off a nice dark black once installed in the car.
#5 anthracite black charcoal is if you want the factory black that comes out on most cars
This glue is temporary good sun and corners going out
Uhhh 19 yo girl here who just be doing shi … was I not supposed to touch the glue ?😂 or is this just your personal preference
Looks like your ready for chernobyl Ukraine
Weak i dont have your whole costume
