Default thanks for the ideas

My '92 XJ has a saggy headliner too. Thanks for the great tip, now I just need to find some headliner material and get it fixed. Looks like a trip to wal-mart is in order.

Does it have to be material for a headliner, or do you think regular clothing material would work??? Like fleece or jean material??

I've seen people use regular material, but I dunno how it holds up. Just get something that will hold the adhesive & withstand the heat.

I didn't use headliner material. I just used some heavy fabric. make sure its coated in adhesive heavily to stick forever. I would suppose denim would hold up great but idk if I'd like to look up and see denim up there haha it would be interesting to see. Post pics when done!

Has anyone thought about just putting in an aluminum sheet as a headliner?

Anyone want to chime in on as to what the (+) and (-) would be to going this route?

Well it would be alot more work to do it right. Go look at a headliner board and if you think u can bend that out then go for it! I think it would look good but not nessisary at all. Me personally would have left the headliner out if I wanted that "industrial" look like andecase did.

Let us know if you do I'd love to read a write up on that!

it would look pretty cool id make sure to put some kind of material between that and the meal of the roof probably be pretty noisy if it was metal to metal haha not to mention the cost of a lets say like a 4x8ft of diamond plate

would something like this work for you. It's a diamond plate vinyl sheet. the seller has it in different widths. And it's not too bad of a price either.

Default custom head liner

i really like the look and how clean the cloth head liner is, but if you want fancy, i got the way to go. Custom WOOD head liner.

my custom wood roof

finishing corners

random cool detailing done by my dad above driver side

... and above passenger side.

Probably more time consuming and has no use what so ever (besides being totally quiet) but it sure does look cool.

thought i would put it out there.

about a week to put it all in, about 10 hours carving that detailing, most of the rest was just trying to glue it in.
