Headliner!!

[ibme]

Hi all...
Well, My head liner board is a complete but it has some bows in it... Is there anyway to fix it? I really don't want to buy a new one. I bought some headliner upholstery from a shop online ($14.95) and I was gonna contact cement it to the board. It should look pretty good if I can get the bow out..

Thanks...
Marc

maybe you could put some wood up in the roof it attach it to where it bows at. i was thinking about doing that to mine because it has developed a bow in it.

I haven't tried this, but considering it's cardboard, I don't see why you couldn't just get it wet so that it's pliable, and then form it to the shape you need and let it dry.

I think the material is a different type of cardboard---like the backing for door panels and such...I think you could probably get that backing material at an auto upholstery shop and using your old one as a pattern,cut a new piece and then glue your upholstery to it...

The upholstery shops also sell headliner board that you can contact cement your material to just use your old board as a template. This is what I did in my crewcab for under 50 bucks I did the 2 of them in there with the material, board and glue. Sorry
