those came on the car and after some testing they aren't gonna come off since they were installed with 3m tape and it is a different color under there with all the sunfade.
Starting out how I did with my car! Its looking good guys! You should have sound detioning material on the roof while you had the headliner down.
so what happened to the passat?
Yea now I'm curious too.
^x3
Kevin
when it is the right time he will let you know
u guys were rockin the interior lol
The sound deadener didnt make it on time...it wasnt supposed to get to me until June 1st and I was leaving on the 30th so we put the car back together. Then of course, it came on the 29th so we did a little bit. Given this setup though the roof is not high on my priority list for deadening.
You and me both...
Also it was more than one days work for those who mentioned it being a lot in a day
IC, well if you have any Qs about the accord let me know!
Hey Jordan, if you need help doing the visors LMK! it really isnt that hard just takes time and patients!
good work man*
the wall looks good but why not make it one piece?
^not going to fit into the trunk....
lol patientspatience homie!
i'm the foreigner geesh
yeah travis hit that one on the nail. it won't fit through the opening of the trunk.
^stupid spell check/speech text it sounds right when the computer said it so it mst have been right!
mst?
Will do man, I read your DIY, actually found it AFTER I did everything haha, but I ran out of time basically to get the visors done. I had to put the car back together before I left for NY. Ill probably tackle them when I get back in August.
mst?
DAMN that one was my fault
Cool, just make sure to remove a few parts on the visor before starting AND try to keep the original cloth as intact as possible! It makes it SOOO much easier as you have a template to trace.
Did you remove the original headliner cloth along with the foam?
A WHOLE LOT OF WORK IN ONE DAY..GOOD JOB. I LIKE THAT KRYLON PAINT TOO
^ they didnt do that all in one day...
Nope, I did it over the factory liner. I felt that it would provide a stronger bond soaking the factory headliner with the adhesive. I used an entire can of Super 90 on the headliner even though 3M says it works for 65ft^2
eww you might run into sagging later....i dunno tho.
Oh no.
He turned it into an Autobot.
Trust me, I did a TON of research, the bond between the OEM Fabric and this fabric is stronger than the bond would have been between the cardboard headliner and the suede. The only way its going to sag is if the OEM headliner starts to separate from the cardboard, because there is no way the suede is coming apart from the OEM stuff. Super 90 is good up to 160 degrees and I used like 5 times the recommended amount. Its not going anywhere. Besides, headliners are supposed to be foam backed, and this material did not have any foam backing so putting it directly on the cardboard would have been the worst idea...
Doh! Suxs for me....
As long as you used enough adhesive im sure you're fine.
yeah, i think so too however I would have loved to have the roof have the padding to it...I was just worried that it would sag if i didnt take it off. O'well I'll know next time i do this! hey what about the other models that have vinyl on the roof?
You can buy headliner backing at any fabric store. Its basically just foam, or buy any headliner material then overlay this on top. However that was just too many layers for me, and I figured I might as well just use the OEM stuff since I knew it would stick to that. Same concept as with the door panels. Its just an overlay over the stock cloth. You let the stock stuff absorb A LOT of adhesive so it provides a very strong bond.
ic, I dont want to deal with taking that headliner down again...it was a PITA doing it alone!
Yea, I tried to put it back up by myself when I finished it since I was so anxious to get it back in the car. That didnt work to well. LOL. I left it draped over the seats waiting for Tony to get back the next day.
hahaha, man the sunroof part was the worst! I cut my hands and fingers all up from the sharp metal tracks and it took me about an hour to get it back in there!
Glad I dont have a sunroof then
well when it comes to having to suede the headliner yes, but on a fall night its nice to open it and look at the stars while driving. I say fall because that is my favorite season
ohh where did you get your suede?
Joanns. Regularly $23/yd, but I had a 40% off coupon, so it came out to be $13.80/yd. Which isnt bad considering I didnt have to pay shipping or wait for it.
