Hey Paul,



I got my headliner material at yourautotrim.com. I used the 'Light Beige' 3/16" material. It looks really nice, and I had trouble using it. However, my car does not have a sunroof. I think you should be able to use the 3/16" material. It works very smoothly. I used the 3M #8090 Super Trim Adhesive. For a wagon with a sunroof, I would get at least 8 cans of glue. I used four for my sedan, and thought I could have used more. Two coats on both the headliner fabric and shell uses quite a bit of glue. Perhaps others will say what it took for them... This is where I got my glue:

They had the best price I could find at the time, about a year ago. I used the 8090 glue myself, they also have that, its a bit more expensive. If you haven't seen whats involved in doing this, take a look at IPD's instructions. Its a good guide to what you'll have to do.

Having a wagon makes doing the headliner a bit easier, paradoxically. Its quite hard to get the headliner out of a sedan. You may want to take out the seats for extra room. I think you'll need 4 yards of material. Make sure you get the headliner shell well cleaned of the old foam, since the glue will not adhere to it. It makes a heck of a mess.


Good luck,

Jon 'Uncle Olaf'
