Now how in the heck are we supposed to play texas hold'em on the ceiling? Might as well throw up a roulette table chandelier!

J/k!


Looks good! I'm jealous of your headliner wrapping capabilities.

BTW, I WAS going to be swinging by Vegas this weekend. Now I'm not.

Yeah, bro. Super easy. Just scoop up the materiel you want, pull out stock headliner, spray headliner and material with 3M 90 glue, stick. That's pretty much it.

I've yet to perform this seemingly mediocre task. I haven't had the time to find an ultrasuede in a hue I prefer. But I think that's pretty much it.

Chime in if I'm wrong, lvbitwiz. Cause I very well could be...

just pay attention to your fabric thickness, some can be a real pain in complex curves. ultrasuede was great, this speed cloth was a bit stiffer, but we managed

what adhesive did you use and where do you get your fabric from? I really like the pattern you used.

side question: can you get to the antenna mount when the headliner is down and access the antenna cable? I want to follow the original antenna cable with the one of a satellite antenna.

The headliner is sweet LV...

and the xxSexyVeganxx commentary is entertaining...


One question. Do you ever have problems with the glue seeping through the material? I wrapped suede from selectproducts.com before and would occasionally have the 3M 90 glue bleed over on the other side which was annoying. I saw some nice Ralph Lauren black tweed on Ebay I wanted to buy, but am afraid of having the glue show...

what i meant was did you put it on top of your old blue suede material or did you remove that first.
I'm thinking about redoing mine but if i have to take the old material off (the one i added) i can see it being a PITA

3M 90, the fabric is from pokerstarsdirect.com

and yes, you can get the mount off easily

when I first started using it, yes. Found that I wasn't waiting long enough, the adhesive should be layed on evenly and be tacky when you lay on the fabric, not wet (which is where I scewed up)

there is a trim plate covering the mount, it has two pis which hold the clips tight. pry off the plate (carefully) and then the visor will come out easily

3m90 isn't forgiving, I just covered the suede instead of trying to rip off the old
