Afternoon all,
I have a much beloved ‘84 Troopy in excellent shape thanks to a P.O.’s restoration and my careful maintenance and upgrades over the last decade. Even so, the headliner (more accurately the headliner foam backing and adhesive) recently died and within the space of a week, the entire thing was basically sagging to the ground.
I’ve removed it and purchased a new one but before I go about hacking my way through the installation of the new headliner, wondering if anyone has (a) done this specific project before and (b) has tips. FWIW, the roof is fiberglass and my obvious first step is to carefully clean/remove any/all existing foam/adhesive so I have a good blank canvas to begin.
Thanks in advance for any pearls of FJ45 Troopy Headliner wisdom you might have!
