Dealing with indentations in headliner. (Page 1/1) BingB JAN 02, 04:48 PM Have to redo my headliner. Watched a couple of youtube videos, and it seems pretty simple. But do you all have any suggestions on how to deal with the uneven indentations in the Fiero headliner. does it help to start in the middle of the indentations and then work forward and back? Or does it help to start in the middle of the headliner and work outward to the sides instead of forward and back? I am using a vinyl type material instead of cloth. I am afraid it will not stretch and conform to the contours as easily. Will it help to warm it up? Any suggetsions on the best way to do that. It is black so if it was summer time I would just lay it out in the sun. But it is cold where I live. olejoedad JAN 02, 05:50 PM Working from the middle to the outside edges, gradually, allows the creases to be dealt with as they start to form. Vinyl isn't as easy to work with as the foam backed stretchy headliner material, so to my mind warm vinyl would be easier to work with than cold vinyl. Any imperfections in your headliner board will show with the vinyl as well, so handle the board with care. TFS sells an ABS headliner backer board that would give a smooth surface to start with, if your old backer has broken areas. Work slow, and have a helper. Good luck!

It just won't be as stretchy as fabric. I told my daughter that her Christmas present to me would be driving up and helping me do my headliner. Definitely a two person job, but I am not as lucky as 82-T/A. I have a great relationship with my daughter, but she is not into cars. One time she started asking a bunch of questions and acting like she was getting into motor stuff, but she was just wanting enough information to get a guys attention.

No, I have no such luxury. css9450 JAN 03, 01:19 PM quote Originally posted by olejoedad: ....the foam backed stretchy headliner material Quoted for emphasis. I'd be real leery of using something that isn't somewhat stretchy like how the regular headliner fabric is. The stretchiness is crucial to filling those valleys without creases.
