Restoring A 30 Year Old BMW E34 Touring Headliner

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Have you ever wondered how to restore the headliner on your vintage BMW?
In this video I take on the task of getting rid of my old grey headliner in my 1994 E34 touring and replace it with something a little more fresh. This was my FIRST time every doing this so unfortunately this is no an instructional video. But rather something to reference if you're also doing this job for the first time, maybe to inspire, maybe to laugh at. I'm cool with either. I had a lot of fun doing this and am overall pleased with how it came out! I appreciate you guys watching. Much love my friends!

    This car is one of my favourite builds on the internet, love the red and a part of me was hoping for a red tartan roof liner, maybe seat inserts, but I know that’s a lot, black is always a solid choice. Nicely done. But please get yourself a work table, seeing you work on the floor hurts my back.

    -$600 is the cheapest thing on this car -this glue was recommended by two people that have been doing this exact thing for longer than I have been alive -the orientation is something I was curious about and will take into consideration next time. But it’s entirely unnoticeable in the car

    You'll regret that material. The fabric will separate from the foam in like two years, and will be saggy again. Should've gone with a single layer material instead, like seude, leather or felt. I did mine in felt like six years ago, not a single sag on it since then. Also did my dad's with the same material as you and the same glue as mine, three years ago, and half of it is coming down and the car is sitting in a garage and is very rarely used...
