I've had good luck with vinyl roof spray by 3m or hoodliner spray 3m

 

True, you gotta get something heavy duty or for headliners cuz regular spray adhesive wont cut it ! I think I used 3m headliner adhesive from napa at like $12.99 a can!

 

Advance auto, headliner spray.
black fleece from Walmart

 

Yep ....
Pay up for spray adhesive cause cheap stuff won't last a week.

 

I redid my a couple of years ago. Did the headliner, overhead console, sun visors all at once. With matching factory color material. That I got off the Internet. Aprox. $50 for material and spray adhesive. And it took an long afternoon to do. Looks just like the original. Although I liked the ideas of putting something else up there. I my self wouldn't use something that would hinder possible future resale of the vehicle. (should you decide to sell it down the road) I know if I would be purchasing a used XJ, I would use the fact it has a Texas flag mounted as a headliner. To knock the price down. But with that said. It is your vehicle, put what ever you want up there. (**** carpeting, astro-turf, what ever floats your boat) I also took the time to put sound damping material under the headliner, before re-install.

 

Google "Jeep Headliner replacement"

 

I like the overhead console, but unfortunately my 2000XJ is lacking it...can you buy those offline? It'd be a cool place to mount my auxillary switches

I'll be out of this forum in about 2-3 days, almost done with XJ.
Cadillac and Expedition engines are next.
You are all right. Why should I waste my time trying to help somebody?
From now on I will not.

Let the countdown begin!!

 

Ya I thought about the flag thing for along time but screw it. I'm not selling my XJ as it will be an offroad toy one day (when i get a DD). Customized cars don't sell for as much usually but nobody else has got one!

 

You are Right. They don't sell as good. Also why I wouldn't paint it Hot pink, Or purple metal flake, Or even Zebra striped ( even though it would be one of a kind.) look at this, If you where in the market for a Used XJ, would you bother to look at this.

 

^^^My daughter just said "where is it! I want it!" LOL

 

Here's mine I did a couple months ago. Very easy process

 

It is like a real "Barbie Jeep" Just needs a little more Pa-dazzle. Maybe rhinestones glued to rims.

 

I swear I remember seeing online somewhere a hard plastic headliner replacement. It was almost like a drop-in truck bed material. I might be crazy...

 

I did the same thing on my old '89. Worked great, looked factory new when I was done.



Alternatively: On my recently bought '89 I just used upholstery pins(corkscrew shaped) to tack it up. I didn't want to spend much as I'm selling it in November when I move back home.
