Headliner Issues

[Project Comanche]

87 comanche need help with headliner. Fabric and foam padding is in good shape, actual cardboard of structure of headliner sags and needs to be secured to underside of roof. How have you gone about doing this? Spray glue? Tabs/brackets?

There is someone in NC that is doing reproductions of the MJ headliner....complete with form.

 

I'll see if I can find him....or you can look.

[Jeep Driver]

He used to advertise on CL, don't see him now.

 

Might look for something close and trim to fit http://charlotte.craigslist.org/pts/4374839549.html

 

 

Or, if it were me and I had no other options......I'd pull it out, clean it, try to return it to its original shape, then fiberglass it.......2 layers..........then new foam and new headliner.

That's the guy I got mine from. My final headliner (third one after his working out some fitment issues) fit beautifully and looked awesome until I tried to put a large picture frame behind the seat and put a gash in it.

Ouch! I hate when something like happens.  :oops:   We've all done similar.......

What I did was get some of that foil bubble wrap stuff and contact cement it to the roof of the truck and the back panel. Once it dried I contact cemented fabric over the top so the glare didn't drive me crazy. Probably works better than the actual headliner.

Mine looks fine, it's just the whole headliner sags(not just the fabric sagging from the foam). How can I secure the headliner to the underside of the roof?

Alright here are the pictures. Sadly no pictures available of the mossy oak breakup fabric we put over it.

roll on contact cement. not the spray, i already made that mistake. Go to your local Home Depot and pick up a jar of it and a small roller and some brushes

Felpro works

Felpro works

 

 

You mean Velcro I assume?

[88whitemanche]

Oooops lol yes Velcro works I used it on mine from SMS headliners...mine for some reason in the middle pops down a bit and didn't have the factory pcs to hold down by the back window

I did the headliner in our XJ last summer, cost me a $10 blanket at the walmart.

The lines you see in the image is not seen in real life.

I don't even have a headliner, I'm fully jealous of anyone who even has one that's falling down. I'll make or buy one eventually, that's a tomorrow problem.

[Project Comanche]

I realize now that what I need is sunvisors and the retaining clip.  The retainer is what will hold the headliner the best where I need it.  Does anyone knowwhere I can get a complete set or if cherokee ones will work interchangably? if so certain years?

[AMCJeepMJ]

Cherokee ones worked for me. Be aware of two legnths of sunvisors.

Two lengths? Some work some don't? Some are better than others? I have a list of parts to scrounge for at the wrecking yard in the next week or so
