Re: Headliner troubles! 700 90

I said it was a time consuming job. The board gets brittle with age, and you have to be UBER careful when scraping it clean.

Not to worry though, a broken back board isn't that much of a deal. Remember, the headliner fabric will gold it all together and all the gear you have to hook up anjd secure to the roof will firmly attach the headliner.

Just proceed as you normally would. When you go to glue the new headliner fabric to the board just do it like you would a puzzle. Place the pieces where they need to go and make sure they are firmly attached. It may flex a little bit, and the breaks may make it more complex to put in, but once in everything should hold up alright.

Around the sunroof is a plastic U strap that holds the edge of the headliner to the roof, so no need to worry there.

Just keep going. If you really need to you can use duct tape on teh top side of the roof board to hold it all together, but I would do this AFTER you glue it since the tape won't hold very well with you pushing and stressing the roof board as you glue it all together.

good luck,

rick
