I need to redo my headliner but not sure where to get the material from. Can you recommend a place that has plain black vinyl with the foam on the back side?
thank you

I asked the same question, if I need the stuff with the foam and he said yes. I didn't ask why, but I would assume that the glue would soak through the fabric without the foam.Why get the foam? Would probably be more durable to just glue fabric straight to the headliner. The foam is why the stock stuff fails in the first place.
They do. I checked last night. The JoAnn's near me sells it for $14.99 a yard. My 2001 XJ will need 2.5 yards to cover and have the necessary overhang for trimming. I was going to purchase 2 cans of Loctite Heavy Bond spray adhesive for $13 each. Total cost before taxes was going to be about $65. If you look in the Sunday paper, Joann's always has a coupon flier. Last Sunday I picked up 2 coupons, a 40% off one item or 20% off the entire order...which would bring my pre-tax costs to about $48.I think Joanne fabrics carries headliner material?
Timely question. I am doing mine this weekend and I got advise from a guy in our chapter that does these for a living.
I was going to go with vinyl also, but he suggested I not because the material would be too heavy to keep a strong bond for long.
