Headliner repair - getting pimpy

[Brian Devlin]

That's right, metal then some thick cardboardy stuff
then foam and cloth. The board is held in by various
pieces of trim at the edges and glue in the middle.
The previous owner removed mine before I bought it,
but I think he just used a long scraper to get to the
glue.

The board will fit through the front door of a sedan
or out the back of an avant.

The nasty parts is the combination of glue and decayed
foam between the cloth and board. I scraped most of it
off and then hit it with a hose- oddly enough the glue
is water soluble. The board will absorb water at the
edges and at any tears, but most of the water will
roll off. Once it's clean and dry, putting it together
is pretty easy.
