Headliner cloth repair suggestions?

[Jake]

I just did a headliner on my buddy's 93 Cherokee. He bought a kit online somewhere. They sent him color samples first, so he could match stock interior color. The kit was something like $75 and came with an aerosol can of spray adhesive.

Dropping the headliner was easy. It will come out on a board, and you have to get the old adhesive crap off. We used a stiff brush, carefully, followed by a vacuum cleaner and hose attachment. Easy enough. Then spray both the 'board' and the new material and lay it down. Make sure you get it to mold to all the lines and stuff of the roof board.

Go get lunch while the glue sets and dries. Come home and touch up any corners that you may have missed. Bust out some scissors and trim the liner to the board, and cut out any holes for dome lights, Jesus bars, etc.

Re-install the headliner board and you're done. It took us ~3 hours to do it, and we had never done the work before. I suspect we could do it quicker next time, barring any missing tools or anything. If you're interested, I can ask him where he bought the material and glue. It looks brand new now!
