Interior Carpet & Headliner
Monday, December 26, 2005 7:57 PM
I am wanting to change my carpet and head liner, any one know of a website that sells some or should I just go to a shop to have it done, or well buy it. I want wanting to go with a darker color. Any info would be great thanks.

Both things are fairly straightforward projects you could do yourself, but take a bit of time if it's not the sort of thing you do every day. You will also save a fair bit of money doing them yourself. The visors will be tricky to recover if you have mirrors on them. There are ways, though. Get some headliner material and some spray glue from a local trim shop. Also, you may need some plastic/vinyl dye to recolour clips, visor hardware, and (maybe) the sunroof molding.

If you're not comfortable taking apart your interior, take your car to a trim shop. They will recover your headliner in any colour you want. A good shop will also be able to give you a price on an aftermarket carpet and an install. GM carpets are expensive.

If you are gonna vinyl the headliner, put at least one layer of fiberglass on it BEFORE you vinyl it. I have had my white vinyl unglue itself 3 times. Then I applyed one layer of glass to it before I glued it.

I used 3m the first time, and it lasted about 3 months. RIght about when it started to get about 114 degrees outside, then one day, it was completely unglued. So I tried this web type glue that cost me about $12, and that didn't work at all. So I fiberglassed the headliner and it's never budged since.

most 3m glue wont hold up in the heat, you need a high temp glue. also depending on the vinyl you use. some chap vinly doesnt curve well or stretch and its heavier, quality vinyl will stretch good and its not as heavy. only 3m product ive had hold up to the heat is 3m vinyl top glue. you cant find it in hardwares stores, you'd need to go to a auto parts place that sells paint and stuff. another product is from select products. they have some high temp glue as well.

i used 3m 90 on marien vynl on my headliner.

2 layers of glue 10 minutes apart and then u put the headliner on the ground and walk all over it. do this repeatedly for about 5 minutes. then let dry.


i live in nor cal where every summer is predominately over 100 degrees all teh time. i always leave my windows up and everythign too.

never had any sag or anything in 2+ years

My headliner had problems sagging the first time I did it, so when I did it a second time I used the carpet spray glue, hot glue, and stitching. It is definitly not budging now. It hasn't given me anyproblems since. Hot glue guns work really well because the glue isn't effected by the high temps like the 3m spray is. If you can have somebody stitch in the new fabric, that would be optimal.

so ur saying that HOT glue, glue that is designed to become liquid-like in high temps is NOT effected by the high temps of the roof of your car???
