How do you change the headliner on a Mercedes C280?
To change the headliner on the Mercedes C280, you will first need to remove all interior trim that covers the edges of the headliner. Then, remove the sun visors. Pull the old headliner from the roof and use spray glue to add the new headliner. Then, replace the visors and the trim.
How do you remove head liner from a 1997 jeep Cherokee Laredo?
Istalling a headliner is not that difficult. First, remove everything that is bolted or screwed to the existing headliner, e.g., sun visors, luggage bar supports, etc. Next, remove anything that is bolted or screwed to the trim pieces that contact the headliner, e.g., shoulder strap supports. Next, firmly pull the trim pieces from the sides, rear and front. Next, pull the headliner down from the rear and slide it out through the tail gate. After that go to the fabric store and purchase foam backed headliner material and about two cans of headliner adhesive. Remove the material from the old headliner and clean the residual off with a putty scraper or stiff brush. After the headliner is clean and dry, spray it with headliner adhesive. Let dry until tacky. Next, spray the foam side of the headliner material with adhesive. When tacky apply the headliner material to the headliner shell. Work in sections and be careful to stretch and smooth the material as you go. Fold material over the ends as possible. Finally trim off the excess and cut the necessary holes for the sunroof, if so equipped, screws for the sun visors, etc. Installation is the reverse of removal.

How do you re-upholster your ceiling in Chevy astro van 91?
Fabric stores carry "headliner" fabric. Take your measurements of the largest area of the headliner (or take it off, if you can, and bring it into the store), and see the clerk for help. They also carry the spray adhesive. They will show you how to measure it and cut it and trim the installation.
How do you fix car head liner that is coming unglued?
3M makes an adhesive spray that can stick it back in place. The problem is that the headliner is sagging because the foam between the fabric and the cloth is usually crumbling. If it is, it is useless to glue to it because it will not have a good surface to adhere to. To do it up properly, pop out the headliner and peel the cloth off, scrape the panel clean of foam, launder the cloth and dry it on a line. If you tumble dry it, it will fray and little crumbs of the old foam will cover the good side. Use the spray adhesive to stick new foam to the panel, being careful to smooth out any wrinkles. Spray the adhesive on the cloth and lay it carefully on the foam. Let the adhesive dry and re-install the headliner.
What kind of glue is used to reattach the cloth headliner in a Toyota corolla?
Use only the spray on glue made just for this--available at any auto parts store. Do yourself a favor and do not try regular spray glue. Even if you use the right glue, it will probably look a little odd. Ask for professional help if you can.
How to fix a drooping headliner?
Once a headliner starts drooping there is nothing you can do to fix it. You can temporarily find solution though. I put thumb tacks in mine, they keep coming down every now and then though, you just need to push them put in. You could also staple it to the roof(not recommended). The ultimate solution though is to buy a headliner kit for about $30 and replace it following the instructions. You can get things at a craft store like joanne fabrics that work fine and never fall out.they have like a clear button with a tiny like corkscrew on them so all you have to do is turn them in,they really work fine.hope this helps. The proper fix is to find foam backed headliner material at a fabric store. Take the trim out and take the headliner board down. Clean it and remove all the old foam. Put on the new fabric and reinstall in car. optionally, you could remove the headliner and pay an upholstery shop to reline the fabric or, if you've got plenty of $$$ buy a whole new headliner from a dealership I have repared many sagging and drooping headliners with little expense. You must carefully remove the trim that holds the headliner in plaace then remove the headliner. They DO come out of the car when you figure out the angle it must be in. Be careful not to bend it. Once removed, carefully remove the material. If it begins to deteriorate, the headliner material can be purchade custom cut and fit from outlets like J.C. Whitney. Use a srpay adhesive like 3M and LIGHTLY spray the surface that the headliner material goes on. Center the material and smooth out from center to edges using your hands or a 3 or 4 inch paint roller until it is smooth and fastened. Let it set for a few hours for the adhesive to cure. Then reinstall the headliner, trim and anything else you removed. If done properly, it will look like new. Be patient.
How do you remove headliner in 1990 Oldsmobile ninety-eight?
pull off all trim pieces around border of headliner, remove sun visors and all interior courtesy lights. After removing assist handles and coat hanger supports there are 6 velcro patches that hold the headliner in place, 2 at the windshield, 2 toward the center of the panel and 2 at the rear window. Once the headliner has dropped down and after reclining front seats gently rotate board out the passenger side front door being careful to not bend this board too much thus insuring the board is in good shape to receive new material. Many fabric stores sell headliner material in an asst. of colors and this can be adhered to the old board using Loctite spray adhesive or a substitute. To remove the board and to get it back in the car it is best for 2 people to handle this job therefore insuring that you are less likely to damage it.

Will spray adhesive fix a sagging headliner?
PLEASE NO! Dont do this! I have an custom auto upholstery shop and this is always an issue when people attempt to fix their own headliner. Let me explain, In most modern vehicles there is a headliner board and to this board a foam backed cloth is basically glued. As time passes the foam backing begans to die, for lack of a better word, and when this happens the cloth begans to sag. If you should choose to use spray adhessive to bond the cloth to the board it will not look well and it will make it very difficult for your upholstery guy or girl to properly prepare your board to be recovered the correct way. At some point the intire headliner board will have to be removed and covered with new material. If you try to fix this yourself with spray adhessive and your old material you will only cause more work for the proffessional upholsterer and that will amount in more cost. Most headliners can be recovered for around $100.00, of course the cost goes up if you have a sunroof or T-tops, etc. You would be much happier spending the money to have it done by a proffessional. If you are in the Souther Indiana area I would be happy to take a look at it. just email me Yes - It worked for me on an older vehicle and it looked alright - a can of glue is cheaper than an upholsterer. I live in Canada.
