Nice headliner, I chose to do mine in ACU. If you didnt put yours on yet, make sure you do not use headliner glue....that shit sucks and doesnt hold. I used 3M Spray glue and I also got Pop Rivet looking things from Staples (I cant remember the name of them for the life of me). I think they add a cool touch but also keep the headliner up pretty well.

good info, thanks. i was gonna use 3m spray on (actually i didnt know headliner glue existed, haha)

i was thinkin about a physical attachment like those rivet things too..maybe a good idea afterall..i thought the MARPAT might be a little heavy compared to the normal stuff. prob better to help support it up..ill have to look for it at the store

Haha yeah it exists, no idea why it does though since it doesnt do its only job.

It will definitely help out with keeping the headliner up if the glue fails. With mine, in cold weather some spots tend to fall down and when it gets warm it tightens back up and looks good. Im glad I have the rivets there to keep it all up.



I remember, they are called CLASPS! HOly shit that was killing me haha. I got brass ones and painted them OD

I used carpet adhesive, didn't really hold long, parts of it are dropping a bit, some parts are still held on very well

I need to give a lot of thanks to Nicole for helping me do this with my badly sprained ankle...we got it done though! what a PAIN. learned a lot of things doing this.

Replaced my headliner. I chose genuine MARPAT as the replacement fabric...thats marine corps pattern digital camo.

My old stuff



Nicole doin some work on the trim



the material out on the lawn



all old headliner out



form fitting...used 3M Super Trim Adhesive for it...fuck that shit, 20 bucks a can, used 2 cans sparingly.



in! minus 2 pieces of trim on the sides and the speaker bar





the speaker bar was tough to skin with this stuff...needed a lot of relief cuts and such, but came out good



Really happy with how it turned out, way better than my old headliner and its very tough stuff

[Nick]

looks cool i guess.

Professional looking job though

[Buffalo Phil]

You and Nicole did a Marvelous Job. LOOKS SO FUCKING BADASS.

[Lawn Guyland]

thanks guys it was definitely a pain...spent our entire afternoon yesterday & basically today finishing it...lots of little pain in the asses, but it looks so much better now...makes the jeep look so much cooler! next up is our new seats

[Even]

The blue colored kind is cooler.

just hope it doesn't start to droop in any spots that you didn't apply alot of glue to, only spots mine droops is the rear right behind the dome light.

But that does look bad ass, was it pre-foamed?

MARPAT fabric doesn't really...Droop...or stretch...or....anything except be awesome from what I'm told.

That looks bad-the-fuck-ass, dude.
