hahah, its supper easy... if something looks like it should just pull out of the headliner (OS heandles, visor clips, stuff like that) then it does, just yank!
Got my headliner done today. Was pretty easy, material worked better than I thought.
No pics right now, till I finish painting the a,b,c pillars, dome lights, and find some black sun visors/hardware that work.
Also, went ahead and put dampening material on the roof while the headliner was down, man does that stuff make a difference!
Here's a teaser pic of the material though, black diamond stitch quilted nylon..... think inside of a nice jacket.
Minor setback..... used some generic headliner glue, thought I'd be safe since the material is soooo light, but it didn't hold. Redoing it this Tuesday though with 3M 90, has held headliners in the past with it. Pillars are painted and will be installed then too. No luck finding replacement sun visor hardware in black though.
Expect pics Wednesday!

So how does it work?
Do you just glue on the fabric to the existing headliner using 3M 90?
yeah, this time we took extra precautions though.
Took a wire brush and comb the headliner first, to rough the surface up a little more.
Spray glue on small sections at a time, starting with front, on both headliner and the material.
(Careful spraying the material, if it's light just spray a little so it doesn't soak through)
Give the glue a few minutes to get tacky.
Smooth material down from middle, working out to edges. Then glue next section.
Repeat until whole thing is covered.
I let mine bake in the sun for about an hour, after we finished, just to let the glue completely dry.
Rhino, I'm interested in doing the roof with dynamat... you used something like that under yours? Any helpful hints regarding the removal/installation of the headliner and installation of the dynamat? I'm also planning on doing the doors and the trunk area. I'd like to do the floor, but I'm nervous about tearing out the carpet.
if i want to add fatmat to my doors, how much sq ft should i order? or should i get the door kit as opposed to buying bulk roll? i don't need to go to the extreme as you did w the headliner and all....thx
Hey Luci,
Awesome Dude. I envy your tenacity in doing the FatMat install. I also did mine, but not as extensive as you. Check out the part under the rear storage area between the bumper and the tire storage well. There is a big area that the dampening has made a pretty good difference for me.
sorry i dont check this forum often, i got a bike and it takes more of my time then the xD lately. lol
Greeve - i prolly used 50sqft on the 4 doors. i would get atleast 50sqft start with 2 layers on the outter door skin, then 1 layer on the inner door skin, if you have some left, do another layer on the inner door skins or some in the cargo area over the exhaust.
bobo - under the rear storage? what is gthe rear storage? i dont have the spare tire cover in my car, if that is what you are referring to. and all that area was deadened with fat mat and expanding foam in all holes....
