Headliner Magic - 64 Inch Wide Automotive Headliners Foam Backed Material (3 Yards (108"), Shale - 2144)

I used this headliner fabric to renew the sagging headliner in my 1999 Dodge Dakota pickup. I ordered it in the Lt Natural color and this was a perfect match for the stock headliner. The 64" wide width was enough to cover the whole headliner with about 6" on each side. The headliner came rolled up in a long box. When I opened it, it had wrinkles down the center of it. I laid it out flat and let it sit for a while. The wrinkles became less prominent but did not come out completely. But when I installed the headliner, they pulled out and weren't a problem.To prepare my old headliner, I started by removing the original headliner fabric by just grabbing it on one edge and gently pulling it upward. This was easy since it was sagging and not adhered well anymore. That left some old foam stuck to the headliner shell. To get that off, I used a steel wire brush and carefully scraped it until all the foam was removed. This was tedious and took a long time. Once that was off, I laid the headliner fabric in place, sprayed it and pressed it down. Instead of spraying the whole headliner with glue and then doing it in one shot, I folded it in half, laid it into the shell and then sprayed a foot wide section. I let that glue cure a bit then pressed the fabric in place. I repeated this process until all of the fabric was glued down. I finished by cutting off the excess headliner and gluing the edges in place.I did make a couple of mistakes and maybe you can avoid them. First, in some places, I pressed too hard when pushing the fabric in place and it left indentations. This may have been a combination of too much pressure and too much glue. Second, the glue bonds instantly and repositioning the headliner is all but impossible so I had to be super careful when pushing it down. I accidentally had a wrinkle near the driver side a-pillar and I couldn't remove it since the headliner adhered well.For glue, I used the 3M headliner and foam adhesive that sells here on Amazon. It's really good stuff. To do a standard size headliner, I used about a can and a half, so order two cans of that glue. I let the glue set up about a minute before putting the pieces together and that seemed to be the right amount of time.The finished job, despite my mistakes, turned out really nicely. I'm quite happy with it.

First, about the headliner material itself, the color matched the picture on my computer screen and seemed very high quality. Removal/installation is not necessarily an easy task. I redid the headliner and sun visors on a 2004 Buick LeSabre. There were a lot of wiring harnesses up there - figuring out how to unclip everything without breaking the old brittle plastic wasn't fun, especially with the crumbly old foam raining down. You've got to be patient and figure out how to use minimal force to remove things. If so, you'll do okay. Lots of good youtube videos out there on actually removing the old liner and installing new liner. I used the Polymat 797 High Temperature headliner adhesive and cut up some plastic pieces to create little spatulas to better distribute adhesive where it pooled up. If you put the material over a pool of adhesive (no matter what brand) you run the risk of it penetrating the foam to the fabric and creating unsightly dimples in the finished work. I would describe my finished work as "very good' - it is not showroom but a million times better than what it was. We love this good old car again. I strongly recommend that anyone considering selling their older car do this if needed (and clean up those oxidized headlights!) - it will turn a beater into a saleable car. Re: the customer service. Fantastic!!!. Marcus made sure everything was right for me and I want to personally thank him.

Poor stretch in compound curves. Material is decent, price is decent, attaches to glue fine, but when attempting to stretch around sunroof opening and pressing into pocket recesses for handles and visors it wrinkled, creased, and would barely stretch.

The foam back material is awesome for headliner replacement. I have 2006 Mazda 6 and its headliner was falling constantly from the last couple of years, I tried to avoid it but recently in January 2019 it fell off completely from the backside and I wasn't able to see through my rear view mirror anymore. Then I decided to replace it, got some estimates from the local auto body shops, the lowest estimate that I got was of $225-250. Then I watched a whole lot of videos on YouTube on how to replace the headliners, replacing the headliner wasn't that tough itself. the only difficult part as to get the headliner out from the car and install it back.The material was delivered before the due date and it was packed very well. Regarding the dimension (2 Yards (72") it was enough to cover my whole headliner. I also got two cans of 3M 38808 Headliner and Fabric Adhesive, my only advice would be to spray it evenly and avoid over-spraying the adhesive because the excess adhesive will make the foam look bad. I over-sprayed at a couple of spots and it looks weird over those spots. Will update about the material if anything goes wrong with it.

Used the material to replace the headliner in a 1994 Ford F150 truck. There was plenty of material to do the job...had a good bit left over. The material had several wrinkles in it when it arrived, but it was well packaged and rolled up. It was easy to get the wrinkles out of the material. I just laid the material out on a large flat surface and let it sit overnight. I also used a blow drier (on low heat setting) to help get the wrinkles out by rubbing the material with my hand as I gently heated it. There are many ways shown on Youtube to remove any wrinkles that may be in the material. The old headliner "board" must be free of all old foam and material before gluing the new material on. I used a hand held wire brush to remove the old foam. I used about 1.5 aerosol spray cans of super headliner adhesive to do the entire job. The completed job looks just as good as when the truck was new. The job was fun and the results very satisfying. My headliner material came in earlier than I expected it!

My headliner started to looks like utter crap. I decided to do it myself for the first time and it looked like factory new ! Make sure to apply quality spray glue to this. I used 3M for this one.
