Looking for a replacement headliner for my 40.

Im in need of a headliner as well. Carpet looks nice. I think I would like the OEM look.

Did you install your self

I've installed the thin automotive carpet a couple of times. Picked up the carpet at Menards. Adhesive was 3M spray on headliner adhesive. Not hard to do.

also run carpet from checker. just used some vinyl floor glue and it hasnt sagged yet, that was about 4 years ago.

works like a charm

Maybe this is only a problem if you're rehanging old headliners with broke-ass foam, but the spray glue has never worked well for me.

Liquid Nails, on the other hand, spread thin, worked GREAT - that thing is NEVER comin off!

how did you guys prep the top before you applied the adhesive and carpet?

You can find a nice replica of the original headliner, already sewn, on ebay. guys' out of OKC. I paid around 60 bucks seems like. Easier to install if you put your cap upside down and use a small roller. I used 3m adhesive which is specifically for headliners. It's perforated white vinyl with foam backing like oem. Sand all the original foam and adhesive off first. Time consuming, but not difficult.

anyone ever try the lizard skin. I read somewhere they have a noise deadening product. I think I may just use armacoat on it.

Sanding of the original glue. New headliner installed with top upside down.
