Drahcir495 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Is there anyone making the headliner boards? I don’t need one with fabric. Just need the board the fabric goes onto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I've seen that guys have managed to use cut-down XJ panels. not sure how well it fits the rear wall though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Tom Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I've heard of some folks just doing away with the liner and painting the roof with bed liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 I’m going to have to check if it can be repaired when I get it pulled out. It might be past the point of repairing it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has a cut down XJ panel. It's fits perfectly, until you get to the back where the rear cab wall is. The OEM MJ panel had a curved portion that came down to join the cab smoothly. A cut down XJ panel lacks that. My solution was to make an "L" shaped aluminum piece that is bonded to the cab JUST above the window gasket, and it goes up enough to support the back of the cut off XJ headliner panel. I covered it in headliner material so it looks pretty invisible. The headliner "board" on an MJ, as such, is make out of the really cheesy fiber material with a foam core. I have repaired those using a layer of fiberglass cloth and resin on both sides of the damaged areas. (I cleaned up the nasty parts first so the resin would bond to the old headliner board well. Once the fiberglass has set and is cleaned up of any little fibers that stick up, new headliner fabric can be attached with spray adhesive as normal.

pizzaman09 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Repairing your board with some fiberglass resin laid over it would likely be pretty easy and give it the extra strength it needs to stay in shape for the future. I've seen someone on this forum do it as his board was pretty fragile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepSchmidt O'Guinness Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 The porous nature of the material allows air to be the insulation, the bed liner would conduct heat faster. Also I would think bed liner might have trouble bonding/curing to the roof of the cab in the dead of summer. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 spraying directly to the steel will help with dampening vibrations, but doesn't insulate heat much at all. the liner just gets hot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
