Hey guys another question for you all. Whats that stuff thats right over your head in the car? Its all orange foam for me, I know theres supposed to be some sort of cloth or something covering it, but is there a name? I"d like to put the cloth stuff up there because that orange foam breaks apart kinda easy and leaves dustings in my hair lol

for upcoming responses

 

it's called a headliner

 

Or you talking about a hat?

 

I think he wants to know what the headliner fabric is called.

 

Yeah what kinda fabric is it? cotton or polyester or something?

 

stock it is felt i do believe

 

Anyway that I can buy like a sheet of felt and put that stuff up myself? Is it hard or anything?

 

You can buy the headliner material from any automotive upholestery shop. It comes with the foam attached to it. You need to remove the foam that's stuck on the board right now and glue the new material/foam on.

 

its sooo much easier to getit done. my headliner was done custom in my car for 175$ that was in tweed with a 3d Bowtie in the middle of it. that included new sail panels and new sun visors...

 

I don't think theres any upholstery shop here dealing with autos...... any online retailers? All I see from this hawks third gen parts is t tops headliners and thats it.

 

go to any fabric store, I've bought it at Joanne fabric. Ask them for headliner cloth and they'll know what you're talking about. there should be several colors to choose from... it's a felt-like cloth with a 1/8" foam backing. If you look in the technical article section, you should find instructions on how to apply it. My #1 piece of advice is to clean off ALL of the old foam before adhering the new headliner or it'll just fall down again. Also, use the strongest 3M adhesive you can find. I used one called "Super Trim Adhesive" and it's product # 08090. One more piece of advice, you're much better off taking the headliner out of the car to do this than trying to work upside down. Good luck

 

not to mention if you do it in car youre gonna get a ton of that old foam everywhere.

 

so you mean attaching the headliner to the new foam outside my car? then when im ready, use that 3M stuff to glue it in the bare top?

 

Please read the link in my signature, it should answer most if not all of your questions.

 

Thanks..... it would seem the foam I have above is in fair shape and should hold up the felt just fine. Now its a matter of taking it out of my car that seems to be the harder part...
