Just a little idea; spray a couple coats of clear coat. We did the Rhino liner on a Bronco top, then clear coated it. It turned out amazing, and makes cleaning a real joy! Looks great! Great idea! I will be doing my 95' Cherokee! Thanks!👍😉

David, that is a great idea, will certainly try that next time!

Looks great from here. I have a 2001 XJ the guy before me put black material up on the head liner. For me it a bit dark. I have other projects going on first with my XJ but with how well your looks I’m going to do mine with Raptor liner in a lighter color. Thank you your video of removal and installation after liner I learned a lot. Your lucky to have the family to help out.

Good luck, let us know how it turns out. If at all possible let that raptor liner cure outside for as long as you can, that will help reduce the smell. Ours only cured for one day, would have like to let it sit a little longer. More than a year later and it is still exactly as it was in the video!

Really cool idea I like people who think outside the box. I have a headliner speaker box that I was debating on wrapping but I also have a bunch of bedliner I would rather use. Thanks for the idea.

Bedlining a speaker box is a great idea!

A good trick to remove the old foam is a firm bristled scrub brush. I got one that's about the size of my hand from the dollar store. We did that to my wife's xj for now. It doesn't look too bad as a bare fiberglass headliner. Suits the jeep well with its 333k miles. We'll eventually put a new liner in there. I like your idea of using truck bed liner. It'll last longer than the jeep.

Thanks for the advice Adrian, If we do it again we will use a scrubbing brush to get the old foam off.

Excllent video. Thanks for being so detailed about the process. Great choice the spray liner over the cloth, should be much easier to clean plus it should have a bit of strength.

Excelente idea, lo tomaré a consideración en un futuro cuando sea necesario reemplazar el forro actual. Ahora bien, aprovechando que se desmontara, para ayudar a combatir calor y ruido, aprovechar para colocar aislante acústico en lámina. Sería un tip adicional.

Arkikecto we agree, putting additional insulation for heat and acoustics onto the roof before installing the bedlined headliner is a good idea.

Agreed! After living with it for a few years now this was the best decision and I would certainly do it again!

Another quick tip is we used a nylon drill brush attachment and it made quick work of the foam.

Etch fill primer next time first before raptor liner should fill in any voids and make it all stick more evenly

I have seen some people glue thermal barrier onto the roof before installing the headliner - I would look into doing this as it makes sense to me.

Has this helped keep it cooler inside? I have a '96 XJ Cherokee and in the summer months if it's 90° F outside then it's about 120° F inside!

Unfortunately I don't think it has helped to cool, we are in Alabama with temps over 100F outside - at that point we depend on the AC

Do you notice any difference in the insulation? Does the interior of the car get hotter in the summer or colder in the winter?

@theshop392

No difference with internal temperature

How are the acoustics in the car with that material? Is the road noise more noticeable? Is is holding on well?

Perry, I can't really tell the difference in terms of noise from before. My XJ has mud tires so the road noise has always been there. I would certainly do this again.

Hello i just raptor lined my headliner in my xj after seeing your video and it came out great and im super happy with it. Its been about a day since I installed it in my jeep. Left my windows cracked all night and im still getting a strong smell of spray paint. How long did that last for you? Bc if the smell doesnt go away im gonna have to find a new headliner😂.

@theshop392

Жыл бұрын

I am glad you are happy with the results. I let my headliner cure overnight before I installed it so missed the worst of the smell. What was left goes away after a couple of days - I kept my windows open at night which helped. I was fortunate that it was the middle of Alabama summer so standing in the sun during the day helped it cure pretty quickly.

Thanks for the idea! I have mine taken down and I’m thinking on putting back a cloth material again but now you have me second guessing. How is it holding up?

@@theshop392 that was going to be my question. How was the gassing off the liner? Was it overwhelming or just a bit of smell and eventually if went away? Have you used it during "hot" months to see if it softens and let's off more smell?

@Ryan Leukhardt Ryan - We let the headliner cure in the sun for two days before we installed it. There was a little smell for about 3 weeks when the car had been parked with the windows closed overnight or in the sun during the day. This was right through the Alabama summer with temperatures well over 100F. With winter now here the smell is gone. Still a great decision and definitely something we would do again.
