i've called everyone within a reasonable distance in the phone book and they're all either booked or "yea i've done that before" ...

who does t-top headliners, and who does it GOOD?

how hard is it to do yourself?

 

My buddy told me that he would help with mine, he said it's not that hard, I'm just too lazy... I'd rather pay someone to do it, lol.

 

What does he do?

Does he clean the old one off and reglue the fabric? or does he get a new piece underneath and put new fabric on it?

Mine is horrible I can barely see out my back window, and it sits on my head when I drive. I have reglued headliners before they just fall in a month or 2.

 

ya you need to clean all the foam off...

 

I had mine done about 2 years ago. $100, 2 hours. It was by a upholstery shop on 17/92 about a 1/2 mile north past lee road. on the northeast corner. You can't miss it. The job came out A 1 to this day but the smell of the glue hung real bad for about 6-8 weeks. Good thing it was cool out cause I had the windows open for ever. It smelled like horse manure.

 

i had mine done for 60 bucks...the guy did a great job ..all he does is headliners so he keeps his price down ...my dad and brother have done one once its not so easy ....a lot of work

 

well i got the glue and the fabric to do it, i'm going to attempt it tomarrow afternoon...

 

Sunday night?

 

neg, tonight if i'm feeling like it... was up really late last night and then got up reallly early this morning, about 2.5 hours of sleep. i'm awake because of the miracle of caffine right now.

 

Well if you dont wanna use the stock cardboard/wood peace , Take 1/8ths door skin and trace u old board thingy and then take ur odl head line to the new fabric trace it out and then cut ur fabric like so then start gluen' !

the guy holding the cat in one of those pics is NOT me btw... and the pics of the salvation army sign were taken at the corner of 436 and aloma.



so far, so good. no sagging. it SEEMS to be pretty friggin good... if i did it again, i'd be able to do the area around the t-tops basically stock, but mine was a learning experience.


17 bucks for fabric
13 bucks for glue
13 bucks for bondo fiberglass kit to fix the cardboard backing, mine was torn to hell.

43 bucks... not bad at all, and it looks damn good. if anyone needs help doing theirs i can give tips and such no problems. i'll probably be helping a friend do his shortly.

we'll see in a few months if it starts sagging again. car looks sooooo good now that i have a non-stained and non torn/sagging headliner.
