Well for me, today was like the first day of spring in Michigan
..It was sixty degrees and I was able to work on the Buick. Worked on removing the headliner and replacing the material as it started to sag :
the removal process went nearly flawless except for the fuse I blew when removing the dome light (yea I know always disconnect the battery)
as you all know if you have done this before it is not hard but it is time consuming because of all the parts that need to be removed.
I actually received one bit of good advice that helped for removing the foam backing from the substrate. Richard Clark said to use a garden hose with high pressure for its removal. This process worked fairly well but I also used an ice scraper on the wet foam...I spent approximately two hours getting the headliner strip to the condition you see in this picture.
Now all I need to do is get some good headliner material
.I purchased material from e-bay but the color does not match close enough for my taste, so now I am looking. I actually found a sample of material from a local trim shop but found out it was discontinued. Any help would be appreciated . I also plan on re-trimming the sun visors.
Well today was the car
. tomorrow the yard
.do I have to?! Regards Rick
Well the headline and re-trimmed sun visors are in ...so I got carried away and decided to put in the new carpeting while I was at it..... besides half the trim was already out.....next project DRIVE..... Regards Rick
