Anyone ever replace a headliner? April 14, 2008, 10:18:50 PM Well, went and bought another Bird, this one is a 83 Heritage. I have replaced headliners in my older ones(65's) which of course are different than this. Is the foam pad and cloth available or what are my options? Thanks in advance for any input or suggestions.

Anyone ever replace a headliner? Reply #1 – April 14, 2008, 10:36:07 PM IMO the best way to go on a headliner is just have it professionally done. My headliner was falling down, so I took the 'Bird to auto upholstery shop and had a new one installed for $175... Turned out factory perfect.Unless you have the tools and experience in doing this I wouldn't recommend it. Quote Selected

Anyone ever replace a headliner? Reply #8 – April 15, 2008, 08:15:53 AM I just did mine. Very simple to do, and cheap (like Vinnie said) if you take it out yourself and bring the whole thing to a headliner place. Just make sure your seats are fully reclined, or even out of the car before you remove and install the headliner. Quote Selected

Anyone ever replace a headliner? Reply #10 – April 15, 2008, 01:02:30 PM I've done it a couple of times. It's easy. You can get the fabric from a fabric place, or I have gotten them online. Just be sure to use the 3M adhesive. Quote Selected

Anyone ever replace a headliner? Reply #12 – April 16, 2008, 02:16:24 AM My first post here, but it really is easy to do. You can pick up the material from just about any fabric store. It cost me about $25 in materials to do it myself, and probably an hour and half of labor. But if you can get it done for $45 or so I say go for it. Quote Selected
