Default Re: Attempting headliner repair

Thanks all. I did watch a Utube video and they did it one side at a time, they also recommended gluing the foam to the fabric first and then the whole thing to the headliner. One of the reasons that I am doing this my self is my local auto upholsterer wanted 275 bucks for just a suede like fabric and I wanted something a little different. As it stands I have invested about $120 which includes about $40 in shipping fees but the fabric is very nice and unique. It should be finished in plenty of time for the Carlisle meet.
