has anyone ever bought the headliner kit from 1A auto? if so is it any good or hard to install?

thanks guys

 

Me personally, no. From what I have seen though, 1A has good stuff. I'll be in this same spot a few months from now, whenever I get around to getting the IROC painted.

Headliners are usually always a pain to install, there isn't really a certain brand that's better. Bulky objects = pain to install 99% of the time.

 

yea, im thinking of finding someone who wil install it, im not looking forward to doing it myself lol


yeah, i just ordered some roof rail weatherstripping from them and it will be here saterday so i will see how that is before i make another purchase

 

I have a step-by-step installation procedure for a t-top headliner here:

Hardtop headliners will be a little different, but to be honest, if you've got a hard top headliner, you're better off recovering your stock one as long as the fiberglass backing isn't trashed. Recovering a hardtop headliner is extremely easy, will save you a lot of money compared to buying an aftermarket, and also fits & looks better.

If you decide to buy new, send me a PM.

 

Our headliners do come with instructions,if anyone calls in an order let the sales rep know if you have an overhead console or not.There are two sets of instructions.

The instructions are a little long but if you follow them and take your time you'll be alright.

 

Get it done at a local Auto Upholstery shop. Avoid that tearing out and installing a headliner that will not fit correctly. Just get it done a a local shop and let them do it for a factory look. My opinion, $160 is well worth it.

 

Kits are all pretty much the same. You have 3 choices.

1) repair headliner backing and re-fabric yourself.
2) buy upholstered abs backing board
3) pay shop to do it.

I did #1 to learn skill and save some money. I did not save money versus going other two routes (I bought new sun visors though). You can also order color fabric samples from places to match existing color if desired. If you do decide to go #1 be sure to put fiberglass resin on both sides of board. I would go #3 if you can find reasonable price. You can always take out your existing headliner and see what condition the backer board is in.

More than you'll ever need to know about headliner repair.
