Tio Rudolph, you’re a legend. I’m restoring a 52 Chevy Deluxe and you have every video I need to reupholster its interior on my own. Appreciate your work sir 🫡 God bless you and much love from Cali🌴

Pros with 1yr experience use a wire brush on a variable speed angle drill and be done with removal within 2 minutes and less fatigue.

Not worried about price but how do I get a custom fabric to work right with foam or can you give advice on foam

43 yrs, a skilled craftsman, God I lament the eventual retiring of skilled men like you, there's just not enough new blood to fill your shoes. That goes for many skilled trades, my hat goes off to you, sir.

That’s a dodge Ram headliner!

Great video sir. For those people not in the business of repairing / restoring, seeing you do it by hand is very helpful and appreciated. But for those who might want to get into this line of work and don't have 40+ years experience, I would hope there's a tool or drill attachment that can help quicken the process. Thanks for making this and your other awesome videos.

Your years of experience really shows in your work and your quality is very good as well

I relined the headliner in my 04 Silverado extended cab hind sight is I should have made disassembly videos to remember where all parts go (example: small plastic bracket for the side door lock cover) because it rained almost everyday for two months. Had to do it outside.

The people who say you charge a lot, will understand why once they see your video on how labor intensive it is. Old saying, you get what you pay for! Love watching your videos

Many years ago my wife and I covered a car headliner with wide wale corduroy. It turned out awesome, perfectly straight! its been over 35 years and needs to be redone again. The velvet just turned to dust. I'm dreading doing it again cause we're old people now and I'm not sure it's going to turn out as good as we did it before. Thank you for the video, I appreciate you!

Just repaired my headliner 04 Silverado extended cab. You were correct DO NOT USE ANY SPRAY CANS ordered Weldwood contact adhesive on Amazon first can worked half way through second can nozzle broke ruined material had to order the1 gallon can and new headliner material

That looks great Rudy! I’ve done hundreds of headliners over the last 31 years. And I’ve done it the same way you showed. Except I use a wheel wire brush on my drill to remove the old foam. Then I use a wire brush to clean it off smooth clean. It is messy. I’ve used the same glue and spray gun. I installed it back immediately in the vehicle after I’m done . To replace a headliner on a Jetta with Sun roof is very tedious. Thanks for the video and keep posting more. I enjoy watching!! Ed

Man thank you for sharing your knowledge You gave me courage to do my own. Priceless

Great videos! I've got a 64 and 65 F series Ford trucks. The 64 has no headliner and the 65 has a after market cardboard liner that's warped from moisture. I really don't want to buy an aftermarket piece of crap. What do you do or what do you suggest? Thanks

Vehicle is a second gen Dodge ['94-'02] extended cab. Was that a 1996??? I believe that Dodge interior color was "Driftwood". Headliner fabric you used was Keyston #AC1971 "Dk Sand". It looks like a very light color to be named "Dark Sand". Did you redo the visors also ? Because they totally match the color!!! Did that color match the Dodge seats and doors?? Keyston also has a "Lt. Driftwood" color - I wonder about this color matching the Dodge Driftwood interior - have you used it?

Hey Rudy , I have a couple of sun visors that I need to change color on . I would accept black - my interior is gray - these are secondary visors. What can I dye them with ?? I used SEM ON MY PLASTIC INTERIOR panels Thanks bunch

I’m watching all your videos now in 2024, after my Dad’s passing in 2019. He was an upholsterer since 15 years old till his passing at age 66! He was truly a very cool guy his whole life, & an awesome tradesman. I never was able to learn the trade due to us living in different states, but he did gift me a cool old PFAFF about a year before he left us, & didn’t get too far along on my training. Now I’m going to really give it a shot to learn it, & this reminds me so much of Dad. Thanks for your instructional videos sir. God bless.

Thank you for such a good video. Much appreciated. Since I am in Denmark, and I want to do it myself on my old Land Rover, I've taken the headliner out of the car, and taken off the old material, plus the foam. The precious owner (I recently bought the car) used spray glue which of course did nothing good, and then staples. I could take off the foam and the staples with no problem, but the styropor (the firm plate) is super sticky. It's a bit like the spray glue kind of semi melted the top of the styropor surface a little bit, if that makes sense. Should I clean this stickyness off, before I spray new glue on with my spraygun, or not? And if I should remove the stickyness, what to use, so I avoid dissolving the styropor? Really could use an advice for this from a professional like you. Much appreciated. Kind regards, Redfox.

Hello, I am doing the headliner of my 1977 Nova and I found a nice vinyl to glue. I was wondering what you would use for foam so the imperfections like seams don't show through? Thank you so much for your videos.

Love this guy and love his humor and craftsmanship. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for this video. It is very instructional and I've learned a lot with it. I am trying to do the headliner on my 2010 Volvo XC70. I've striped the whole fabric and the foam but it still has a residual adhesive. Is there any way to remove that residual adhesive or should I apply the new adhesive on top of that old adhesive? Thank you again for the video.

It looks like you're not worried about getting glue n your sewing table or machine platform. Do you have to clean dried glue once in a while?

Yup, been putting off replacing it despite the new material sitting there. Question though, the new material has folds in it, should I iron it, can I iron foam, steam it maybe? Heat gun? Blow dryer? Just lay it out and wait?

I guess I fell asleep, did you glue fabric to foam?

What was that about bmw headliner foam? I'm looking at this vid in anticipation of doing something about a bmw headliner. Not liking the sound of sticky syrupy mess...I might have to get creative if that happens to be the case and think up some HD method to deal with a HD problem.

OK how many hours of labor did that headliner take you or you charged the customer. How much do you guys charge for labor in Texas on that job?

Just a few questions... Where do you get your materials? What kind of glue do you use? How do you apply it? What size tip/needle do you use? How often do you clean your gun? Do you thin the glue? How much do you charge to replace headliner? Just kidding. Really fantastic demonstration... thank you! I'm going to tackle the one in my truck soon. We really appreciate your videos!

Good morning Sir, your content is amazing. Thank You. I have a VW with the sticky stuff underneath. It’s a pain in the behind and it’s a mess. Do I need to remove all of it before I install the new one?. I got most of it off. Should I use goo gone to remove the rest? If I use the goo gone do I need to remove that before using the adhesive. Thank You so much.

Can this technique be applied to other parts. Reupholstering the dash, door panels, armrest, etc???

Keyston sells an aerosol adhesive. Have you tried it? I was watching a YT video on covering GM visors.

Is there any smaller can than 1 gallon for the contact adhesive you use? Not finding any online. About how much would you use for one headliner for a truck? How about using the spray can version of this particular contact adhesive? I have one headliner to do. Don't need a gallon or 5 gallons.

I love these videos. Your humor and expertise are just awesome. Thank you so much for sharing your skills and trade!

Thank god mine is a two seater pickup truck, that defoaming could take days.

Perfect timing and great video as always sir. Drove the truck today and I was sitting in the driveway looking up at where there should be a headliner. But all I see is where someone hacked the material out and left the old brown foam so it falls on me like brown snow while I'm driving. Louisiana with no a/c yet so windows down. That isn't going to wait for cooler temps, it's gotta go. Keep 'em coming and stay blessed.

Sir how many ounces of glue does it take to do a youkon headliner or a crew cab truck?

Nice job ! Some head liner material have a white color foam on the back - does it need a different contact adhesive?.

i enjoy your expertise. I will look later if you have one for the sunvisor recover.

If the headliner is cracked how do you repair it? I haven,t removed the foam yet to keep its shape.

Mr. Rudolph, Can I use a brush or roll on instead of the spray?

I need from beginning and how to remove the interior light just a girl re storing my truck

I love the pro tip....where there's no glue it won't stick!

At the factory we don't have time we have a work sheet with an amount of time on to put in the headliner so its wacked on and shoved in so we can finish the interior ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊

what is the headliner board made from? it looks like fiberglass.

Wonder how a da sander would work with 80 grit on foam removal.

I did this same process in my 79 Trans Am. Did this when I restored the interior back in 2007 and still holding up to this day. If you want a headliner to hold up it's always better to start a new. DAP makes their Weldwood contact adhesive in an aerosol for you folks that want to spray on the adhesive but don't own an air compressor. Great video.

Thank you for teaching me to pull and not push.

do you have a video on how you do an roof liner that is made out of cloth with stitched seams.

Can you use a material that doesn’t have a foam backing

Keep up the great videos mate! Really enjoy watching your highly skilled work even though i will never fix a headliner. Entertaining and relaxing viewing that i would watch every day.

Great video my friend. I used this technique on my 95 Dodge Ram truck and it looks great. I watch your videos over and over. Very entertaining and very informative. I think I'll make a log of all the techniques...lol!

Your work is amazing! My headliner has fallen and I was wondering what if the headliner itself was deteriorating or broken what should I do whenever I come in counter in the future? Thanks 🙏

Can I use the Red contact adhesive instead of yhe blue can?

Is it REALLY important to use foam backed material? It seems like in 10 years the new material’s foam will just degrade and have to be done again, and again. Also I am seeing weld wood contact cement but NOT weldwood contact adhesive at my big box stores. I presume the “cement” version is totally wrong for a headliner? I DID find on Amazon weldwood contact adhesive landau and trim in a spray can, like all the other consumer adhesives-do you think that would work as well?

As long as you keep up the good work?!

I bet it took longer than an hour. lol

could you use a air die grinder with a wire wheel cup on it ?

Wonder if a nylon wire wheel on a grinder would be faster

I'm curious... Why not try a soft wire wheel on a 4" grinder or a drill motor attachment? Maybe a nylon stripping wheel.? There must be a good reason.

Thanks for the education 🙏

Hello. Iove your videos! I attempted my DIY headliner installation. Rookie mistake, I caused a few fingerprints indents. Is there actually no way to take these fingerprints out? Maybe steamer, Hot flat iron, or potentially just leave it out in the Texas Sun for foam to puff back out? Or is it a lost cause and have to redo?

I don't have a spray gun and don't want to order a gallon of glue for 1 regular cab headliner. Could I use the weldwood contact cement in the red can and roll it on? Or can I put that in a cheap spray gun?

Thank you for the video! The few headliners I have done before have been after the foam completely failed. This looks like a pain in the rear!

Do you have any videos on old headliners with the ribs

Question....Can you use the can adhesive if you buy the HIGH HEAT version?

I wish I had seen this a few days ago. I just helped a friend redo the headliner in his Volvo. We got a couple wrinkles in the corners, and also left a few small dents. We didn’t let it dry for a day. Next time! But as always, the pro makes it look easy. It’s not.

I removed all of the old headliner material, and what's left is a very thin (beds sheet) fiberglass backing. It's very flimsy, and looks like applying a new headliner is going to be impossible... Any advice? Thanks

Rudy I have not done a headliner yet. Is the base material plastic or some sort of cardboard? If it's plastic can we use a pressure washer to remove the od foam? Thanks, Phillip Hall

Truly enjoy this, I do headliners mostly BMW and other European vehicles, but unfortunately here in Barbados the contact spray adhesive is not available I can only get the 3m headliner spray one. I have tried the brushing technique but I have been successful so far with the 3m. I am going import the weldwood, keep the videos coming excellent work always

Your videos are the best, Thank you so much. Not sure this will get seen or answered but just in case I’ve had a headliner question for a while and I’m not sure who better than you to answer it. On old chevys with the bow type headliners. Most people say to trim back the loops the bows run through until they “look right” during installation. There’s no way they were messing around with that on the assembly line when the car was built. I’ve actually been told by an old guy that worked at the factory, it was two guys on the line, and they spent about 5 minutes or less installing the headliner. So, are the aftermarket ones just not made like the originals, or do you really not need to do that, or maybe it just makes it a little better? What do you think?

My daughters K car, but yes we have that problem. She wants to put some fabric on there that she tie dyed. We'll see what happens, but sounds cool, don't it?

I did my 77 Coupe Deville like this less than four years ago. It has already gone to powder & sagging! I am so rural I can only do mail order. My problem is avoiding garbage products on the market these days. This time I'm trying black poker table foam that appears pretty durable & some nice suede over that.

thats my headliner rudy!

Thanks for all the professional tips. I would have bet you would have used mineral spirits to remove the rest of the foam from the headliner, but I would have been wrong. ;-)

Can’t you take a wire wheel to that?

How bout a wire wheel on a drill?😮

I’ve watched about 30 videos on this topic and you sir did absolutely amazing job demonstrating your process! I’ll be following your advice in my project 1986 R10 with suede headlining material! Thanks again

I was taught exactly that way 40yrs ago at a body shop. Headliners and vinyl tops and window motor bearings were always in the shop!

they have wire brush attachments for Sawzall

I get what you're saying about pricing. I get customers asking,..."Can you do it cheaper"? My response is, "Cheap things are of no value, and valuable things aren't cheap!" I've learned a great deal from your videos....Thank you.

Radical!!

Did the 1930,40,50 two to tone trucks have a headliner when I was bullcatching we use old layland hippos and chieftaines 43 model Toyotas didn't even have roof and rhey where all 6 wheel drive ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊

Do you know if on the four door crew cab pu if you have to take the front or rear glass out to get the headliner out being it’s so big? Awesome video Sir 👍😁

I might have missed that part. I don’t think I did. But wouldn’t a sander make foam removal a million times easier? Obviously you want to make sure you don’t go too heavy in any one area but it just feels like it would have to be easier than scraping.

Any techniques for repairing broken headliner boards?

Right right I tried it once and my garage took all the light off went back with 1in foam and why no that's some buttons made just put them whatever I thought they look good it worked out pretty good I'm no professional I'm just a DIY

got the old foam off with headliner still in car ( don't ask ) painted the board ( whatever it is 😁 with exterior latex house paint ( better than nothing ) got that covered with bubble foil wrap which is rated to 160F . So far it's working good enough to give me little extra time , a repair shop is not close in this area . believe I could do it now , just a little intimidating getting the thing out but actually its not that big & with a couple of saw horses believe I can handle it with right adhesive

Please hit the "$uper Thank$ Button" I don't think it's working... And the LIKE button while you're at it! Thanks a bunch! 😁

I started driving in the 80s and everyone had to have a 70s Monte Carlo. I think they forgot to glue the headliners on those things. The good thing was every gas station around had headliner screw pins in all sorts of colors and shapes. The owner would put his headliner up but while driving around with a carload of idiots the artistic ones would make cool designs with all the pins. Bedazzling wasn't just for ugly sweaters. The main thing is to do like he said because the glue not only came loose on the material it lost the bond on the deteriorated foam too. I don't think I've seen a headliner newer than 85 but the foam turns to dust. The foam was the problem in the first place.

Hello Sir, just checking in and wanted to tell you that it is nice to watch someone that cares about what they are doing, something that you don’t find very much of anymore. You do awesome work, almost makes me want to try my Suburban headliner, but I’m afraid if I tried it would cost me a trip to Texas to let you fix it 😝 love your videos 👍🏼

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! It is greatly appreciated. I was wondering if you think one of those nylon brushes on a cordless drill would remove the foam. I’ve seen people use them to scrub carpets just a thought if they are stiff enough to work.

Thanks for such a detailed video. I'll be doing my "98" dodge 1500 regular cab sst this weekend.

Thanks man. I love learning trades and I am also preparing to do my headliner. Hopefully, down the road, I'll be able to do more upholstery work.

It's nice to see what seems a tricky, hope-for-the-best project shown not to be "rocket science" by a (shall we say) "seasoned professional"? Thank you for the instruction. I hope there won't be a test of my grasp of the Technique numbers.

14:21 -- the most golden advice when it comes to headliners. I made the mistake of using "headliner adhesive" once. It's way too much work taking apart the car and removing the headliner to chance it to anything but else but contact cement. Anyone watching this just follow this piece of advice if nothing else.

Would a electrical gun and a nylon wheel work too you do good work by the way

trucks were better with the hard metal headliners that were part of the truck. and cars had the metal rods in the headliner

!!!!

It may not be rocket science but it certainly takes time and effort. The process is very specific and we can understand why some headliners start sagging all over again. Some part of the process was skipped. I'd rather pay and get it done and this is perfect to know what questions to ask and what to expect from a professional service.
