Ripp Russell thanks for the rhyme!

I replaced my headliner on my 98 ZJ all thanks to your help Matt. I went with a Star Wars fleece. The only thing that was difficult was lining up the pattern on the center console and the visors. I posted a pic on the website. Thanks again Matt.

New to the jeep world here, thanks for this video! Got a 97 ZJ and loving it!

Looks great, that wouldn't be my first choice for a headliner print. I have done two headliners and I did my first one like you did. The second one I sprayed half at a time and it was so much easier. It came out better as well, I had much more control over the fabric.

Matt, I just wanted to let you know how helpful this video and all of your other videos have been. I recently bought my first vehicle, a '98 xj and your videos have helped me greatly with fixing it up. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Ethan Pitsenbarger no problem, glad to hear it!

Man your videos have my my current and past 6 Jeeps fun to work on You seriously are the bob ross of the Jeep world haha Thanks for the great info !!!

You can use a hypodermic needle and squirt glue in there if you have an spots that come down over time, some people do the visors to match but some don't. You can use any fabric , its doesn't have to be stretchy I used camo pattern from Joann fabric(they have coupons on the website) and the 3M spray glue , let it sit in the sun to cure for an afternoon will help it last longer too

I did my first headliner on my BMW with a suede that has literally no stretch. I too found I didn't love the 90 it does work and it is strong but I used the Permatex Headliner glue and loved it and it was easy to find locally at Advance Auto. I went through about 3 cans of the stuff though on a tiny little coupe. I do think it's important to keep a foam backed headliner style material even though the foam is what ends up failing. It's easier when you're spraying liberal amounts of glue on it as it doesn't let it absorb to the visible surface. I'll be doing this on my ZJ fairly soon as I've decided to get it back to full time street duty.

Thanks for your videos! I just got a 97' Cherokee that I'm going to customize!

Matt, I did an install using your video advice and all went well except Super 77 is not meant to do headliners (it's primary use is for art stuff). I found out the hard way, I installed mine using Super77 and the weather got hot for an extended period and it failed. I don't think it never got a chance to really setup. Now I'm going to have to do a redo. FYI, I did a good job getting all the old stuff off and used a cotton jersey material.

First educational video in the newish shop looks great

I'm on my second XJ now..... I really, really wish I had seen this video when I had my '87 2 door as the headliner fabric was completely gone. I just left it alone. My '96 XJ headliner has some defects and needs repairs, along with the obligatory fabric replacement. Great video and thank you for helping us all out.

Followed all these steps...only differences i made were: I did the gluing by myself in sections it was not that difficult...I also used a thin twin xl blanket. Bought it and the glue for ten bucks. It looks lovely... 😁😁

Dude. This is the best diy video on headliner repair I've seen and I'm so happy I stumbled upon it. I hope this works for my 2003 BMW I just got because the headliner is falling and gross and tan and changing it to black would be amazing. Thank you so much for showing how to do such a professional job and posting this video! You're awesome!

Nice video man, and just so you know the glue stuff from under the head liner is actually the foam backing on the original fabric. Its so the glue has a better grab on the fabric and doesn't bleed into the liner. You can go to Joann fabrics and get that same foam backed material but isnt not in any crazy colors like you decided to use... i had to wear sunglasses watching this!

Great video. Followed the video and put in a "The Walking Dead" headliner in my '95 XJ.

get video. got a quote for $350 to have a auto upholstery shop do this. got the fleece at Joann fabics ($12 for 3 yards) and the 3M 77 adhesive spray at Home Depot (2@ $9.99 ea). i spent $11 at autozone for new dome lights since it was all down, might as well replace them too. Less than $50 and it looks good. Thank You for the lesson.

hey thanks for the infro...I use it for my 89 subruban Chevy

Hey! Great videos, very informative! I'm about to tackle removing/replacing my headliner. I was curious if you could tell me how to remove the cargo light in the headliner. Haven't figured it out and don't want to wreck it. Thanks!

***** no problem, send a pic to the fb page when you get er done.

That "glue" that you removed with a brush is actually the foam that was attached to the original headliner. As the glue gave way, the foam stayed attached to the headliner and the fabric came loose from the foam. The reason for the foam is for insulation for weather and sound. So it isn't completely necessary, but I wouldn't go without it because if you live up north then you'd have to expect a lot of condensation in wet weather and you will notice ice crystals forming inside the cab in winter. Remove all the old foam, and install real headliner material. Real headliner material has a foam backing. Same process, but it's better for your vehicle.

@Garth2011

Agreed. just about every headliner material is foam backed. The upholstery shops have it in big rolls, the OEM colors too. Black would have been the better choice in this example !

I have a 99 without an overhead console and a 98 with an overhead console and I need to swap the two. Can you give me some info on what I might need to know before diving into this project? How difficult would it be to remove the wiring harness from the 98? And getting the 99 console with the dome light into the 98 is the most important thing at the moment. Should it plug right in?

Great video! Would have been helpful if you uploaded this a year sooner! I love the choice of material. Was going to do something crazy for my XJ but wimped out. btw 'MERICA!

Thats an interesting pattern choice you went with there....

Can you use 100% cotton fabric? I found patterns I like but they aren't stretchy like fleece and slightly thinner comparative.

Matt thank you its nice to have a channel to go to for all my XJ needs. I'm new to the Jeep market and especially the XJ and your channel is a huge help! May I make a suggestion and do a series/special on the Renix series XJ'S. Just a thought. Subscriber for life!

Everyone I talked to that used super 77 it didn't last very long. I think the fleece you need to throw in the washer/dryer before-hand to get rid of any loose fibers. I used the #90 on mine and it seems to be holding well. Just can't let it sit too long or the glue dries too fast and wont stick

I would say you may need to find one at a junkyard and study how it goes together. You may have to get some parts from it or the headliner itself.

That material is clownin I can't believe u put that in lol

I would of saved the time and coverd it will cardboard and self tappers. The screws coming through the roof would also double as a spot for tie downs.

I'm going to mount my ox locker lever to the roof. Whatcha think?

Turned out to just be the dome fuse. Make sure to disconnect the negative battery terminal before messing with any of the lights or electrics

I rested my OHC on my rear view mirror and ripped the mirror right off the windshield.

I just went to the pull a part today and pulled a headliner with the sound bar out of a 2000 model. My only concern is that the dome light for the 2000 was bigger than my 96 dome light and therefore the hole in the headliner is bigger. What are my options? I have the 2000 model dome light with the headliner but I’d imagine I would have to do a lot of wiring to make it work.

The original headliner has a kind of a foam backing, flexible though. I think this helps deaden the sound. When we redid the falling headliner on the 99 XJ we purchase material that had this same time of backing.

Dan Cole no i didn't, the fleece is pretty thick and I would imagine most of the sound comes from below the vehicle anyway.

If you haven’t, you should update this and inform viewers that Super 77 is not the proper adhesive to use. Not nearly the heat tolerance required. Risking too much time, energy and money on useless adhesive using 77.
