Re: Headliner material
I owe Ben Simons for this tip, but it does look great. My spray glue failed so I need to pull it and use another adhesive.

Re: Headliner material
I liked this fabric, and placed my order. What did you guys use to glue it to?
Fiberboard or Dynamat or Hushmat or something else?
Thanks

Re: Headliner material
I was going to do a sound dead material but then I
Was going to glue the fabric to an upholstery fiber board.

Do you happen to know the measurements of the headliner? I wasn’t sure which size to buy. They have 2
Sizes.
32x48 and oversized
39x65. I’m leaning towards the biggest and trim it
Thanks for the good answers

Re: Headliner material
I ordered the 32 x 48 fiberboard and I measured the opening then created a cardboard template and it measures 42.5 long x28.5 wide.
If I put a bend in it to Match the roof contour it will add a little more on the width.
There is a video on YouTube to show how to put a bow on a headliner fiberboard. Use
9 parts ammonia 1 part water and spray to soften the board. Use a spray bottle to apply.
