I received as an early Christmas present (my mom thought my headliner looked like crap and couldnt see how I could drive it like that) a Heads Up headliner repair kit. I got the black one for my tan interior (I picked the color). My headliner had no fabric on it, and had a few tears in the main part. This was fixed by riveting the panels together with a piece of aluminum scrap metal. The results are well worth the 30 bucks, it looks 100X better. When I figure out the digital camera, Ill get some pics up.

The kit claims an hour to install. I dont think this is humanly possible. It took me over an hour to get the headliner out, but I am really crappy with doing interior work. Between spraying, cutting the material and getting the headliner in and out took me around 3 hours. A person decent with this and experience in pulling a headliner out and knowing how to get trim panels out could do this in 2. The biggest hassel was figuring out how to get the headliner out. That and losing screws.

If anyone was wondering, it is worth it, it isnt that difficult to do for a beginner like myself, and the quality of the headliner is good. Anyone wants more info or for me to write up exactly how this is done, just ask. Ive got 3 weeks off from school and honestly nothing better to do.

 

Yeah, I took my time on my first one, probably about four or five hours, but the extra effort and time are well worth it to anyone that needs this done.

 

Also, while youre at the headliner, if youve got extra material, redo the rear speaker covers with the extra. That looks awesome.

 

It WILL sag. You can bet on that. I did it, and it looked great for a little while but its down again. That glue doesent hold for crap really. Best bet next time it to have it pro done, or better yet get the fiberglass one.

 

FYI: the a-pillar trim panels are held on using one use fasteners. when you install the new headliner, you'll have to replace the fasterners in question to get the front windshield trim peices to stay in place.
