Recovering You Car's Headliner and Pillars

Step 6 Reinstall - Deoderize

Reinstall everything ;) It's a good idea to let everything cure for a day or so though.

Have an odor from your adhesive? There's a deodorizing product called Ozium. A quick spray on the smelly panel instantly neutralized the smell ;)

Enjoy :D

One day I will get around to replacing my gray handles/components with black :D

Do you think I could replace my headliner with vinyl?

That is a great question to ask. I would really like to know if using a foam backed headliner is absolutely necessary or not. I am about to change my headliner out soon and prefer not to use the same foam backed material because it actually will deteriorate and cause problems again. I know that the deterioration of this foam is toxic.

If anyone has an opinion on this, please post it.

Thanks

Did you strip the pillars before applying the vinyl? I've got everything out of mine and the headliner cloth was easy enough to remove but the pillars are pretty well glued. Just wondering if there were any suggestions. I'm thinking heat gun but would prefer something a little less drastic.
