Fabric Depot or Fabric Supply Depot or something like that. Cavecreek and and Bell, just south of intersection on the east side of CC. It's a long standing upholstery supply place, been going there for years.

To be honest, I know randode and tizzy have both done headliner rewraps, otherwise a lot of the SA people had interior work done at Grunion (sp?)/ The Interior Shop on like Cavecreek and Sweetwater.

I can't make it to any meets probably until after Christmas, work is blacking out time off now, but we can figure something out if you want to see the falsefloor.

if you are looking at redoing your headliner you want some really good glue cuz in AZ that stuff will come right back off.

I believe at Tempe sales they have a special glue thats illegal in certain states that was recommended to me to use for a headliner, im sure if you go in and tell them what you're doing they can recommend the best stuff.

Everyone I have talked to(including Randode and several shops) have recommended 3M #90 which is what I used when I did mine. Hopefully it doesn't give out, but I know a few people who have had theirs done for a few years now with no issues. I think the fabric to fabric bond with the glue is way more durable then if you are putting fabric to plastic, but that glue is meant to hold molding onto counters, so Good luck with interior shops, I had checked with several places before I did it myself, and was quoted 400-800 dollars to get the headliner and door inserts done on my xb2. I did it myself for around 150 for the material and adhesive.

'Fast Tack 92' from Phoenix Trim & Supply FTW!

Randode did mine over a year ago, and it is still perfect.

Yeah, I have two or three small ripples in the headliner where the adhesive didn't get smoothed perfectly, but I managed to rub them in and they aren't as bad now. More than worth it to me to have a few imperfections than to spend that much money to have someone do it. You might be able to get a good deal through Randode though, I think he said he would do the headliner and doors for like 200 plus materials, so you are looking at 350ish total. Have to check with him for his current rates though

I used 3m #90 on mines... I used 1 whole can on just the oem headliner, then i used another can on the fabric.
When they were both tacky, I used another can for both the headliner and the fabric. And the fabric I used is a pretty thick compared to the suede that most are using...and have no issues on sagging.

I think I bought 7 cans total and I used 5 on the headliner I used a little of one can on the back hatch piece and I still have about a can and a half left. I probably could have used less, but I didn't want to take any chances. We did it section by section spraying both the headliner and the fabric, letting them both get tacky, then smoothing the fabric on.
