i took my roof off today and cleaned it up so tomorrow i'll be ready to glue the fabric on and hopefully it'll dry fast enough that i can put everything back together before the weekend gets here. i couldn't find any cool looking fabric so i just went with dark blue with a slight pattern... i'll post pictures up soon i hope

The best glue to use I think is the fabric glue. Like SOBO it looks and has the consistency of elmers. Anyway I think I payed 8 bucks for 3 bottles of that stuff three years ago and it is still holding up today. This job is not that hard as I did it by myself when I was like 13 on my dads jeep.

Here's a few pics of mine. I used multi purpose flooring adhesive and brushes it on. Been up there for about 4 years now.

they sell the adhesiveat parts stores also... lock tite makes it and so does alot of tape companies like 3M... my buddy done it in his F-150 and he used a dense foam... carved it out in a ford symbol with flames above it... and glued on tweed... so it gave a 3D look... was awesome...

They are easy. They are just a piece of plastic folded in half. You can just tuck the fabric in around the adge, that's all I did. Well, I glued it too. But they were just as easy as the headliner was.
